10: Jason Lyall
from Sources and Methods Hosted by Alex Strick van Linschoten and Matt Trevithick
This week we catch up with Jason Lyall, an associate professor at Yale University (USA). His research explores the dynamics and effects of violence in conventional and guerrilla wars, with emphasis on Afghanistan and Russia’s Northern Caucasus (particularly Chechnya). His work draws on diverse methods, ranging from historical and cross-national comparisons to field, survey and “natural” experiments. We get into the weeds about the use of polling to understand other countries, the academic work he's published so far and the ways he gets himself to keep producing useful work.
