South Sudan
I have now been in the world's newest country for several days. I hope that this point alone is enough to recognize the uniqueness of this experience....
I am a Ph.D. student in the Department of Political Science at Texas A&M University. My fields are comparative politics and race and ethnic politics. My recent research focuses on voter turnout in sub-Saharan Africa and protest behavior in the Middle East. I am currently in the Republic of Southern Sudan where I (previously) observed the referendum on secession and am working on an ongoing research project. Feel free to check out my blog and pictures.

Referendum Day!
As usual I do not like to think that I am a better informer than most respective news sources, but I do have a few thoughts on the referendum...
More Thoughts
The referendum is now in its third day, and it seems all is going well. In Abyei, where a promised referendum did not come to fruition, things are not going so well...
