I am a a lecturer in political science at Yale University and staff writer at The Atlantic.
Before I joined The Atlantic, I spent two years as a courier and aircraft loader in Iraq. I have also been a contributing editor to The New Republic and books editor of Pacific Standard, in addition to freelancing for many other newspapers and magazines. My first job was as a reporter at The Cambodia Daily in Phnom Penh in 1999.
I was the Edward R. Murrow Press Fellow (2015-2016) at the Council on Foreign Relations and am now a CFR life member. In 2017, I was a visiting fellow at the University of Pennsylvania.
I attended Deep Springs College, then transferred to study philosophy and African-American studies at Harvard University. I studied Central Asian languages at Indiana University in Bloomington on a fellowship from the Social Sciences Research Council, and spent a year studying Arabic at the American University in Cairo. My Kevin Bacon number is 2 and my Erdős number is 3.
