Liana Eustacia Reyes, JD, PHD
I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Political Science at Purdue University and the Director of the Law and Conflict (LAC) research lab.
My work examines the relationship between law and conflict, with particular emphasis on the causes and consequences of rebel law, rebel governance, and conflict resolution. I use quantitative and qualitative methods, including fieldwork and statistical analyses. My research has been generously funded by the National Science Foundation, Rice University's Social Sciences Research Institute, the University of Pennsylvania's Office of the Vice Provost for Research, and Purdue University. It appears in journals such as the International Studies Quarterly, Journal of Conflict Resolution, and Studies in Conflict and Terrorism.
For the 2022-2023 academic year, I was a University of Pennsylvania's Provost Postdoctoral Fellow and affiliated with the Department of Political Science and PDRI-Dev Lab. During 2021-2022 academic year, I was the Predoctoral Fellow at the University of Arizona's School of Government and Public Policy. Additionally, I was a 2017-2018 APSA Minority Fellow and a former Visiting Research Fellow at National Defense University. I hold a Ph.D. in Political Science from Rice University, a Master of Arts in Politics from New York University, and Master of Arts in Global Affairs, and a Juris Doctor from Florida International University. I also have unique professional experiences that expand across industries: national security, intelligence and investigations, and law. I draw on the expertise I developed throughout these experiences, which include fieldwork in Latin America when examining political phenomena.
