My name is Frank Wyer and I am a PhD Candidate in the Department of Political Science at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). I am currently a Dissertation Fellow with the UC Institute on Global Conflict and Cooperation.
My research seeks to understand the causes, consequences, and solutions to armed conflict. In my dissertation, I investigate post-conflict violence perpetrated by dissident armed groups in the aftermath of Colombia's 2016 peace agreement.
I have taught a variety of graduate and undergraduate courses at UCLA, both as a lead instructor and TA. I also publish public-facing articles on political science research, most recently as a member of the American Political Science Association's Public Scholarship program.
