Jonathan A. Chu
Welcome! I am a Presidential Young Professor in international affairs at the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy at the National University of Singapore. I am also the chair of the Master in International Affairs (MIA) programme at the LKY School.
My research sheds new light on how political norms, identity, and opinion affect war, democracy, and great power politics. My expertise covers international and comparative politics, political behavior and psychology, and survey methodology. My work appears in peer-reviewed publications such as International Studies Quarterly, Journal of Conflict Resolution, World Politics, Journal of Politics, and Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
My research has won grant support from the U.S. National Science Foundation and other private and public organizations. It also has been awarded the International Studies Association Finkelstein’s Best Paper Prize (international organization section), American Political Science Association’s Weber Best Paper Prize (religion and politics section), and the TESS Young Investigators Award (NSF-funded).
In addition to my research, I teach, consult, and give talks/training on issues of international affairs, democracy, public opinion, and survey methodology. My previous experience in nonprofit and research management includes serving as co-founder and Director of Research at CivicPulse and lab manager of the Stanford Survey Lab.
I received a B.A. in political science from UC San Diego, and a Ph.D. also in political science from Stanford University. I completed my postdoctoral work at Perry World House at the University of Pennsylvania. Outside the academy, you can find me looking for good places to hike, eat, and listen to classical music.
