A
commentary on the Iranian elections
|
Upcoming in Spring 2010: Turkish Elections Project
|

|
I
joined the political science department at Loyola in
August 2005 after earning my Ph.D. at the University of Michigan.
I conduct research on religion, elections, and party politics in Iran,
Indonesia, and Turkey
and Kurdish nationalism. The themes I address
in my scholarly work include: (1) the moderation theory and political Islam; (2)
political attitudes of Muslim publics; (3) the relationship between
secularism, liberalism, and democracy; (4) judicial activism; (5) ethnic
conflict; and (6) spatial statistics and electoral competition. I teach courses
on the Middle East, Shiite Islam,
democratization, and politics of energy.
