I am an Assistant Professor of Public Policy at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and non-resident fellow at the Global Labor Organization (GLO). My primary research focuses on conflict and human capital in developing countries, with a secondary focus on the non-academic effects of the four-day school week in the US. I study the short- and long-term impacts of exposure to shocks and policy interventions on educational and human development outcomes.
