Juan Masullo J.

I am an Assistant Professor at the Department of Social and Political Sciences, University of Milan (and at the Institute of Political Science, Leiden University—on leave). 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 a member of the Editorial Board of the International Studies Review. I'm a member of the Amsterdam Conflict Research Network (ACRN).

​

My research integrates different methods and forms of evidence, often incorporating extensive fieldwork, to examine political and criminal violence. I am particularly interested in the decision-making processes of individuals and communities living in violent settings and in how their experiences with and responses to violence influence their political preferences, including their attitudes toward various policy strategies for addressing violence and crime. I have investigated these issues in different countries affected by civil war and organized crime, including Colombia, Mexico, Brazil, Ecuador, and Italy. 

​

Before joining the University of Milan and 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 obtained my Ph.D. from the European University Institute.
