My research centers on exploring how women’s civil society organizations mobilize in moments of status quo disruption to positively impact outcomes for women. This can come in many forms, but my predominant focus is on civil wars and post-conflict institutions and on natural disasters. I am interested in how these groups interact with international actors to meet their desired ends and how structural factors shape the interactions between international and domestic groups. To study these relationships, I take a mixed methods approach, combing qualitative work with statistical analyses.
