The Political Violence Lab engages in research that seeks to inform efforts to mitigate its frequency, intensity, and downstream effects of political violence. The lab was established in January 2018 and is directed by its founder, Andrew Shaver, and is engaged in research projects with affiliated researchers from a variety of academic institutions. The lab has involved the participation of 157 undergraduate and graduate students and postgraduates from Arizona State University; Dartmouth College; Princeton University; the University of California campuses of Berkeley, Davis, Irvine, Los Angeles, Merced, Riverside, San Diego, Santa Barabara, and Santa Cruz; the University of Michigan-Flint; and the University of Utah.
