About Me

Justin Gengler
I study political behavior and group conflict in the Arab Gulf region using mass survey data. I received my Ph.D. in Political Science from the University of Michigan in 2011, after which I joined the Social and Economic Survey Research Institute (SESRI) at Qatar University. I spent most of 2007-2008 in Yemen and the rest of 2008 through summer 2009 in Bahrain conducting dissertation research.
