Happy to present our new research “Power Transition Theory: The View from Systemism” (w/ Yuzhu Zeng & Patrick James) at the TransResearch Consortium’s (TRC) 26th annual convention in Providence, RI. My first, & surely not the last, TRC experience. Terrific crowd & scholarship.

🚨I got a faculty job!🚨 In Fall 2025, I will start as Assistant Professor of Political Science in Residence with a joint appointment in Global Affairs Office as Director of Abrahamic Programs, both at UConn @uconn.bsky.social. It turns out UConn is my “Hotel California” 🤓🎸🤘
