Profile
Biography
Reed M. Wood is Professor of International Relations in the Department of Government at the 糖心Vlog. He received a Ph.D. (2010) in Political Science from the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. His research investigates the complex interconnections between gender and political violence and its implications for politics and society. His recent research has focused on the participation of women in rebel and terrorist organizations and their impact on the dynamics and duration of armed conflict, the influence of gender diversity on conflict resolution and post-conflict peace, and the effects of election violence on descriptive representation in national legislatures. He is currently involved in several ongoing data collection projects, including the Women in Armed Rebellion Dataset (WARD), the Sub-National Analysis of Repression Project (SNARP), and the Political Terror Scale (PTS). Professor Wood is current available to supervise post-graduate research students (PhD/MPhil) interested in positivist approaches to the study of gender and armed conflict, the quantitative study of human rights and state repression, or domestic armed conflict (terrorism, civil war, insurgency, etc).
