Jessica Stanton, Post-Doctoral Fellow Jessica Stanton is a doctoral candidate in the Department of Political Science at Columbia University and a fellow at the Christopher H. Browne Center for International Politics.  Before coming to the Browne Center, Jessica held fellowships at the Center for International Security and Cooperation at Stanford University and at the John M. Olin Institute for Strategic Studies at Harvard University. Her dissertation entitled, “In Search of Legitimacy: Compliance with International Laws of War during Civil War,” seeks to explain why some government and rebel groups engaged in civil war adopt strategies that involve the deliberate targeting of civilians, while other groups, in accordance with international humanitarian law, refrain from attacking civilian populations.  In support of her dissertation, Jessica traveled to Uganda in the summer of 2005 to research the ongoing conflict between the Lord’s Resistance Army and the Ugandan government.  During the summer of 2006, she conducted field studies in Indonesia to examine civil wars in Aceh and East Timor.  Jessica received her B.A. with distinction from Stanford University in 2000, where she studied international relations and African politics.
