I am an associate professor of political science at Butler University in Indianapolis, Indiana (USA) and research associate of the Society, Work, and Development Institute (SWOP) at the University of the Witswatersrand (South Africa). 

My research focuses principally on state-society relations and political economy in southern Africa. I use interviews, ethnography, archival research, and surveys to examine the interplay between state policies and local practices over time and to look closely at how past and present ways of structuring property and authority shape local political economies and influence constructions of identity.
