I am interested in the political reincorporation of ex-combatants and the relationship between music, armed conflict and peacebuilding.

In my research, I examine the ways in which ex-combatants reincorporate politically in post-conflict societies. In particular, I am interested in the implications of this process for subnational politics and parliament, with special emphasis on Colombia. My work is based on mixed methods, including quantitative analysis, video-ethnographies and electoral geographical analysis. Additionally, I have developed several research projects that seek to understand the role of music in the internal socialization and propaganda processes of legal and illegal armed groups.
