Andrew Bell

I am a senior research scholar at the Center for International Security and Conflict at Stanford University focused on the study and promotion of law and ethics in military operations. I earned my PhD in political science from Duke University (in Security, Peace and Conflict), a J.D.-M.A. from the University of Virginia School of Law (in international law), and an M.T.S. from Duke Divinity School (in ethics and just war theory).

Previously, I served as the lead for professional military education at the U.S. Department of Defense Civilian Protection Center of Excellence; Senior Research Fellow in Conflict and Law at the International Committee of the Red Cross; and assistant professor of international studies at the Hamilton Lugar School of Global and International Studies at Indiana University.

I have also been a visiting professor at the U.S. Army War College; a postdoctoral fellow at the Institute for Security and Conflict Studies at the Elliott School of International Affairs, George Washington University; a research fellow at the Stockdale Center for Ethical Leadership at the U.S. Naval Academy; a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Law and Policy at the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC); a visiting research fellow at the Modern War Institute at the U.S. Military Academy; and a visiting fellow at the Centre for U.S. Politics at University College London (UCL).
