      Doctor of Philosophy - ABD Political Science and Government

      Activities and Societies: Co-Founder of Conflict, Violence, and Security Working Group. I built a dataset combining my own data and leveraging information across georeferenced event-based datasets to test relationships between international humanitarian law and levels of violence against civilians by state and non-state armed groups. Data and insights from this data informed numerous in-progress articles and a re-examination of “permissive violence” and “who counts” as a civilian.
