Current Work
Dr. Zoli's research lies at the intersection of security, law, and culture, with focused attention on emergent norms to frame new, often disruptive problems of conflict, violence, and war. Through Dr. Zoli's scholarship, Dr. Zoli seeks to provide a humanitarian and cross-culturally sensitive voice in traditionally separate areas of US national security policy, international relations, and international law. Dr. Zoli's work tends to investigate complex, cross-disciplinary, cross-cultural problems and proposes solutions protective of human rights and civil liberties while responsive to the policy needs of a changing world. As a social science methodologist, Dr. Zoli tends to design creative instruments and research programs reflective of the diverse perspectives that characterize complex governance and security problems, Dr. Zoli divides the research agenda into three interrelated components: new challenges for the law of war; cross-cultural approaches to political violence; and diversifying US national security and intelligence institutions.
