Juan Masullo J.

I am an Assistant Professor at the Institute of Political Science, Leiden University, and a member of the Amsterdam Conflict Research Network (ACRN). I serve as co-editor of Qualitative & Multi-Method Research, the biannual publication of APSA’s Qualitative and Multi-Method Research Section, and I'm part of the Editorial Board of the International Studies Review. 

​

My research combines multiple types of methods and evidence, often involving extensive fieldwork, to study political and criminal violence. I'm particularly interested in how individuals and communities living in violent settings make choices and how their experiences shape their political preferences, including preferences towards different policy strategies to deal with violence and crime. I have been exploring these issues in different countries affected by civil war and organized crime, including Colombia, Mexico, Brazil and Italy. 

​

Before joining Leiden University, I was a Lecturer at the Department of Politics and International Relations (DPIR) and an Associate Member of Nuffield College at the University of Oxford; a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Bremen International Graduate School of Social Science (BIGSSS), and a Research Fellow at the Program on Order, Conflict and Violence (OCV), Yale University. I completed my Ph.D. at the European University Institute.
