At the Oppression/Resistance Lab, we conduct public-facing, grant-funded basic research focused on the interplay of systems of oppression and resistance. We focus on projects relevant to the current political moment, ranging from state choices to enact internment policies against their own citizens to state use of WMEs on rebel behavior.

We use a range of qualitative and quantitative research methods in our work, including text-as-data/natural language processing, network approaches, process tracing, and archival research. We frequently collaborate with scholars from other disciplines and specifically recruit and work to support scholars from backgrounds historically excluded from the academy. We emphasize a team-based approach to research.
