I am an assistant professor in the Pardee School of Global Studies at Boston University and faculty affiliate in Political Science and Religious Studies. My research focuses on the politics of religion, with a particular interest in Indonesia and the Muslim world. My book, Islam and Democracy in Indonesia: Tolerance without Liberalism explains the meaning of tolerance to the world’s largest Islamic organizations. Other interests include comparative politics, law and society, politics of the Middle East and Southeast Asia, and qualitative and mixed-method research design.
