Aidan Milliff
Florida State University
Assistant Professor of Political Science
Hi!
I am an assistant professor in the Department of Political Science at Florida State University. I study political violence and political behavior—especially the psychological processes that connect them. Most of my research focuses on South Asia.
Before joining FSU, I was a Shorenstein Postdoctoral Fellow at Stanford University’s Shorenstein Asia-Pacific Research Center from 2022-2023. I earned a PhD in Political Science from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and AB and AM degrees from the University of Chicago. I grew up at the foot of the Rocky Mountains in Colorado.
