Jonathan Röders

Research Associate in Peace and Conflict Studies, London School of Economics and Political Science

Research Associate in Peace and Conflict Studies, London School of Economics and Political Science I am an LSE-based researcher specializing in development interventions in communities affected by violent conflict, with a focus on livelihood security, trust-building, reconciliation, and the societal reintegration of individuals formerly involved with armed groups. I have done work on various such settings around the world, including FARC ex-combatants in Colombia, former cartel members and incarcerated individuals in Mexico, and military veterans and their families in Ukraine. In 2021, I graduated with a BA in Political Science from the Freie Universität Berlin with a focus on International Relations and Political Theory, spending the 2019/2020 academic year at University College London through an Erasmus+ mobility. In 2022, I completed an MSc in International Social and Public Policy at the London School of Economics with the dissertation: “Empowering Indigenous Classrooms: A Grounded Theory of Intercultural Bilingual Education in Chiapas, Mexico”. I grew up in Germany and got interested in armed conflict dynamics and ex-combatant reintegration while spending a year abroad in Colombia in 2017/2018. Before joining my current role, I worked in a Volkswagen Foundation-sponsored research project on German Federalism during the COVID-19 pandemic at the Chair of German Politics of the Freie Universität Berlin.
