Livia's research focuses on the social and institutional implications of violence and conflict, and on avenues to reduce wartime and gender-based violence. Her current projects leverage novel data collection and analysis techniques to examine state-led atrocities against civilians during war; attitudes towards the use of force; norms surrounding intimate partner violence; and consequences of activism against gender-based violence. Methodologically, her research straddles multiple levels of analysis from the local to the international and draws on a broad variety of strategies for data collection and analysis.
Her work has been published or is forthcoming in the American Political Science Review, American Journal of Political Science, International Organization, Journal of Politics, Comparative Political Studies, Journal of Conflict Resolution, and Journal of Peace Research, among others. It has been funded by organizations such the US National Science Foundation, the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the Swiss Network for International Studies, and the Peace and Recovery Program of Innovation for Poverty Action. It received the MPSA Best Paper by Emerging Scholar Award and the Prize for Excellence in Applied Development Research (1st prize, young researcher category), among other awards.
Livia Schubiger has extensive international research and teaching experience with faculty positions at the London School of Economics, Duke University, and the University of Oxford; she joined ETH Zurich in July 2024.
