Jérémie Langlois

I am a Ph.D. candidate studying comparative politics in the Department of Political Science at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. My research examines the political geography of state power and its consequences for collective action. Specifically, I study how changes in the territorial organization of authority and distribution shape incentives for political participation and mobilization. My dissertation examines how repertoires and grievances scale (or don’t) across both space and institutional targets—and their implications for coalition building and opposition durability.

My work has been published in World Development, Democratization, and POMEPS Studies, and has been supported by NSF-APSA DDRIG, the Institute for Humane Studies, FLAS, the Project on Middle East Political Science, and the Rapoport Family Foundation. I was a CASA II fellow at the Center for Arabic Study Abroad in Amman, Jordan, and received my M.A. in Arab Studies from Georgetown University’s Center for Contemporary Arab Studies.
