Summer Lindsey
I am an assistant professor in Political Science at Rutgers University. My research focuses on the enduring implications of armed conflict for women’s security. My work combines experimental approaches with quantitative and qualitative observational work to understand when and how social norms related to violence against women change. My research has been published in American Political Science Review, American Journal of Political Science, Journal of Conflict Resolution, and Perspectives on Politics.
I have conducted fieldwork in Democratic Republic of Congo, India and Croatia. My research has been supported by the National Science Foundation, United States Institute of Peace, Folke Bernadotte Academy, and the Earth Institute, Harriman Institute, and the Department of Political Science at Columbia University. I teach Women War & Peace, Mixed Methods & Field Research, and Peacebuilding.
I am currently serving as an Associate Editor of the journal, Politics & Gender. I hold a Ph.D., M.Phil., M.A., and B.A. in Political Science from Columbia University.
