A mass grave uncovered at a hospital in southern Gaza. Nearly 300 bodies, some with hands and feet tied. It is unclear "if they were buried alive or executed." AT A HOSPITAL. This depravity must end & Israel must be held accountable. cnn.com/2024/04/22/mid…

BREAKING: The Lancet has just published this article "conservatively" estimating that the death toll in the Gaza genocide could be 186,000 people or more. That's 8% of the population, obliterated. These are apocalyptic figures. thelancet.com/journals/lance…

We are now seeing famine across the whole of Gaza. All houses destroyed, food systems destroyed and healthcare destroyed. And kids are dying. Is there any humanity left?

Cuántos más? Hasta cuándo? Qué queda y qué sigue?

Excited to share my latest publication along with Laura García Montoya & María Paula Saffon on Comparative Politics ! We examine under what conditions the Left can become electorally competitive after violent exclusion in settings like Colombia’s peace process

A new fast-tracked article on "Entering the Political Arena in Exclusionary Settings: A Grassroots-Led Turn to the Left in Colombia" has been published in the journal Comparative Politics by current Kellogg doctoral affiliate Isabel Güiza Gómez (peace studies and political science),

Very happy to see this work out in Studies in Comparative International Development with Arturo Chang & Laura García Montoya. We examine why & how shifts in development paradigms (e.g., a type of political opportunity structure) trigger social movement factionalization. link.springer.com/article/10.100…

El martes 27, Laura García Montoya estará presentando online este trabajo reciente (coautoreado con Isabel Güiza Gómez y María Paula Saffon) sobre la organización de la izquierda tras el proceso de paz en Colombia. Invitación abierta!
