Description:

Please join the Comparative Politics Workshop as they host Killian Clarke, Assistant Professor in the Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University. Session title and description forthcoming. 

Killian Clarke is a political scientist who studies how everyday people can transform the worlds in which they live. Much of his work focuses on revolutions — or movements seeking to overthrow an established regime and found a new political order. He examines why revolutionary movements break out, why some struggle and why some succeed, and why some are able to establish lasting change. He also studies an array of related political phenomenon like unarmed protest, armed rebellion, authoritarianism, and democratization. Much of his research is grounded in the Middle East and North Africa, and at Georgetown he is affiliated with the Center for Contemporary Arab Studies.
