My research focuses on the restrictions on political and civil rights in cases of organized violence and extra-legal governance. In this sense, my work lies at the intersection of studies of democratization, criminal and political violence, criminal governance, and political institutions. I am also interested in the transformation of political violence after transitions from authoritarian rule and/or armed conflict. At TraCe, I will continue my research with Jonas Wolff on the patterns and causes of violence against social activists, building on previous research on the political logic of post-conflict violence, particularly the assassination of social movement leaders, in Colombia.
