I've spent much of the last ten years in the South Caucasus, Eastern Europe, and elsewhere - working as a journalist and teaching at universities. My journalistic work has included a long stretch as the South Caucasus correspondent for ISN Security Watch (Zurich), as well as blogging for the Foreign Policy Association and writing Op-Eds and analytical articles for publications such as the Vancouver Sun and PostGlobal, the Washington Post's global affairs site. Over the past decade, I've covered conflict, attempted revolutions, and human rights issues from places such as Nagorno-Karabakh, Georgia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan in the Caucasus as well as Ukraine, Macedonia, and the US. I've been interviewed as a regional expert by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, Voice of America, Turan News Agency, and other outlets. In 2004, I taught US foreign policy and Cold War history at Baku State University and Baku Slavic University in Azerbaijan as a CEP Visiting Faculty Fellow. In 2009, I taught at GIPA, the Georgia Institute for Public Affairs, in Tbilisi. I've also been an adjunct lecturer at universities and colleges in the US and have engaged in democracy promotion projects in Afghanistan and elsewhere. My MA in international relations is from the University of Chicago. I am skilled in digital and film photography, and my photos have been published frequently by ISN in Zurich. |
