excited to share that my article on the transnational origins of regime change in Iraq has been accepted at the American Journal of Sociology. This paper speaks to contemporary concerns about foreign policy lobbying and elite control over foreign affairs.

Recientemente @vistprojects lanzó un trabajo de investigación en el que trabajé con @RodCaballero para tratar de contestar algunas preguntas sobre el movimiento de #Autodefensas en #Michoacán a 10 años de su formación. ¿Cambió algo respecto a la seguridad y la violencia? 🧵👇🏽
