Resem Makan

Hello! I am a postdoctoral scholar at Case Western Reserve University. I received my Ph.D in 2024 from the University of Washington, Seattle.

My ongoing projects use empirical methods to study the interactions between state and society. My work primarily uses historical natural experiments in the Zomia area of Southeast Asia. Other works of mine focus on knowledge spillovers and agglomeration.

I am on the 2025-26 job market.
