Ph.D. program in public policy at Indiana University

Have been engaging in policy and research work in developing societies since 1995.

Research and policy work revolves around environmental policy (including agricultural policy), comparative politics and institutional analysis in developing countries, especially African countries.

Have done a number of research studies in Africa on forest administration, land conflicts and conflict resolution in agricultural communities, indigenous governance, and quantitative analysis; and have published on some of these issues.
