After a lovely year in Sydney as a research fellow with IEP I’ll be headed back to the Northern Hemisphere to finish my dissertation. I should be defending it this summer – once it’s done, it’ll be on to new and exciting research!

This also means that I now have the freedom and time to start posting here again. While the year was fun it was also busy, which meant limited time to blog. I’m planning on some data-oriented posts, which will be fun.

The schedule the next month or two includes a presenting at the Midwest Political Science Association meeting, hopefully popping into the Tech4Dev conference on short notice, giving a paper with the inimitable Nicholas Bodanac  at the European Political Science Association meeting in June, and hopefully circling all the way back to the Build Peace Conference in September. If you’re going to be at any of these, or anywhere in between, give me a shout!
