Defended my Ph.D. at Emory yesterday! This project was built from many long days in the archives, studying how non-state actors shaped colonial governance. Extremely grateful to everyone. Very excited to be joining Penn State's Political Science Department as an Assistant Professor this fall!

Re-election means voters can hold elected officials accountable, but can it be effective where criminal groups shape local politics? In my new article in @bjpols.bsky.social, I show that in high-crime areas of Mexico, re-election did not boost accountability, but increased collusion instead.
