Bio
Professor Jacobs' research and teaching interests are in international relations and comparative politics, with a regional focus in Southeast Asia. She teaches courses on international relations, human rights, political violence, and Southeast Asian politics. Her current book project centers around strategies of survival during mass violence, focusing on the Cambodian genocide. More broadly, her research addresses questions of mass atrocity, sexual and gender-based violence, and the long-term consequences of conflict.
