Biography

Lee Joseph Mars Seymour is a professor at the Université de Montréal, specializing in the dynamics of armed conflicts and violence organization in civil wars, with a focus on political violence. His research investigates why political consequences of conflicts vary, how to prevent the recurrence of violence after wars, and why certain societies become entrenched in prolonged periods of violence. His theoretical approach stems from a socio-institutional perspective, combining statistical analysis of conflict databases with empirical data collected in violence-affected societies, including Somalia and South Sudan. He holds the Canada Research Chair on Political Violence and has led research projects funded by national research bodies, evaluating the contemporary global politics of civil conflicts and the effectiveness of foreign military training. He also supervises multiple graduate theses addressing critical issues in political science and conflict studies.
