Biography

Welcome to my page!

I arrived at Montclair State in 2008 with a Ph.D. in Political Science from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

I am currently researching Gen Z views on politics, protest and polarization through a series of long form, semi structured interviews.

My latest book Migration and Radicalization: Global Futures (Palgrave 2021) examines the current world migration system and how it links to extremism worldwide ().

I recently published Presidential Rhetoric under Bush, Obama and Trump: Inflating and Calibrating the Terror Threat after 9/11 (Palgrave 2020), which provides a sweeping and comparative approach to how the war on terrorism has been conducted in America through the three Presidents who have held the position since 9/11. Here's a link to the book: ()

My first book Freedom and Order: How Democratic Governments Restrict Civil Liberties after Terrorist Attacks--and Why Sometimes They Don't (Lexington Books 2011) explains variation in government legislative responses to terrorism. Here's a link to the book: (+and+order+rubin&qid=1615842283&s=books&sr=1-2).

I've also published work on international human rights, terrorism and globalization, terrorist radicalization in prisons, and state failure.
