Dr. Sweta Sen is a comparativist whose research explores the internal and external facets of contemporary armed conflicts, with a focus on organizational behaviors of non-state armed groups, humanitarian access during situations of conflict, and the essential roles of grassroots, indigenous organizations in rebel negotiations.
Presently, she is an Assistant Professor of International Relations and Comparative Politics at Jindal School of International Affairs where she teaches courses on international organizations, comparative politics, law and ethics in international relations, and politics of civil wars. Previously, she was a fulltime, visiting lecturer at Butler University (Indianapolis, US). Prior to her association with academia, she worked in an anti-human-trafficking project, administered by the European Union through the Group Development Association of France, as a case officer. During her tenure there, she was actively involved in restoration, rehabilitation, and reintegration of trafficking survivors into mainstream society.
Her research has been supported by several grants and fellowships, including the Senesh fellowship administered by the International Peace Research Association, Kent State Research Fellowship, and XCEPT.
