My research explores how international organizations operate and interact, and asks how states harness global governance processes to address transnational threats like terrorism and climate change. I am particularly interested in the role of information in international politics, and examine this topic through topics like rhetorical contestation over international law, institutional monitoring and enforcement, firm decision-making, and artificial intelligence.
