Welcome!
I am an associate professor of Politics at the University of California, Santa Cruz, Lead Editor of Palgrave's Latin American Political Economy Series and co-Founder of the SWMMR. I study the politics of the design and implementation of social policy and the territorial structure of government in Latin America.
My 2018 book examines the conditions under which social policies are successfully implemented in decentralized countries. More specifically, I examine how politics and capacity at state and local levels shape the implementation of healthcare and Conditional Cash Transfers. It won the Donna Lee Van Cott and IPPA Best Book Awards. Check out the reviews of my book.
During the 2020-2021 academic year, I was in residence at the Kellogg Institute for International Studies working on a new book project on immigration and social policy in Latin America. This article summarizes part of the argument of the book project.
