Rubin’s research explores the causes, conduct, and consequences of civil wars and political violence, to inform policy solutions to reduce the human suffering they generate. His work draws on both global comparisons across conflicts as well as in-depth analysis of key cases, including: the communist insurgency in the Philippines, the 1948 War in Mandate Palestine, Syria’s civil war, and the anti-Apartheid resistance in South Africa. Seth Warner joins the Department of Political Science as an assistant professor. Warner received his doctorate from Pennsylvania State University. His research focuses on partisan polarization in the United States. His current project evaluates differences in polarization across U.S. cities and towns, and how highly polarized environments affect the people who live in them.
