Andrew Ross is currently Assistant Professor of Political Science at Ohio University in Athens. He is a broadly trained scholar of international relations, international law, and political theory, with a Ph.D. in Political Science from The Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore. During AY 2007-08, he was a post-doctoral fellow at the Mershon Center for International Security Studies at Ohio State University.
Andrew is currently working on a book about the ways emotions shape collective agency in world politics. Titled Beyond Hatred: Violence, Justice, and Emotion in An Age of Terror, the book looks at emotions as powerful and sometimes creative forces in the politics of terrorism, ethnic conflict, and transitional justice. It makes an original contribution to key problems in IR theory--the changing location of collective agency, the fiery politics of identity, and the sources of justice and normative change.
