Kyle Reed (ne Rapp)
Ph.D. Political Science & International Relations

Welcome!

​

I am a researcher of international law and international relations, with a particular interest in how actors use international law for strategic goals and what these uses, in turn, do to law. My work often focuses on questions of human rights and the use of military force and particularly how actors create and contest different meanings of compliance. You may find more information on my research interests and current projects on this site.

​

I am currently a Postdoctoral Research Fellow with the Berlin-Potsdam Research Group "The International Rule of Law – Rise or Decline?" Starting in the Fall of 2023, I will be an Assistant Professor of International Relations at the University of Amsterdam, working in the Transnational Configurations, Conflicts and Governance group of the Amsterdam Institute for Social Science Research. I completed my Ph.D. in Political Science and International Relations at the University of Southern California (USC).
