Livia Schubiger (Ph.D., University of Zurich) is Assistant Professor of Political Science at Duke University and a member of the SPC group and the DevLab@Duke. Prior to joining Duke, she was an Assistant Professor at the London School of Economics (Department of Government). She was also a post-doctoral researcher at the UZH-ETH Center for Comparative and International Studies (CIS), and a pre-doctoral visiting fellow at the Program on Order, Conflict, and Violence at Yale University. Her research examines the short- and long-run consequences of state repression and political violence, with a particular focus on insurgent organizations and civilian communities. Her work also investigates the role of non-state actors in the provision and transformation of political order, the intersections of political violence and organized crime, and the micro-foundations of inter-group solidarity and conflict. She is currently working on a book project that explores the impact of state-led civilian victimization on subsequent patterns of wartime collective action and institutional change.
At this seminar, Dr. Schubiger will discuss her current project, which she is co-authoring with Janina Dill (Oxford University).
The Friday Center is located close to the UNC campus in Chapel Hill. Parking is readily available.
