My research interests include world politics, international institutions, international political economy, technology, technological change, and ethics in science and engineering.

I am also one of two UMass advisers for the Five College International relations Certificate.  To make an appointment to talk about it,  go to SSC Navigate, then select International Relations Certificate as the "service".

This semester I return to graduate teaching with the IR Proseminar.  I am also willing to guide graduate students in Directed Readings or Independent Study courses in areas where I have relevant expertise, and to talk about research, teaching, and general aspects of pursuing a career.
