Debak Das
Assistant Professor in Peace and Security at the Josef Korbel School of International Studies

I am an Assistant Professor in Peace and Security at the Josef Korbel School of International Studies at the University of Denver. I received my Ph.D. from the Department of Government at Cornell University in August 2021. I am also an affiliate at the Center for International Security and Cooperation (CISAC) at Stanford University, the Centre de Recherche Internationales (CERI) at Sciences Po, Paris, and the Council for Strategic and Defense Research (CSDR), New Delhi.
My book project examines how states build their nuclear forces. Specifically, it addresses the empirical puzzle of why the non-proliferation order – instead of constraining the spread of nuclear delivery vehicles – enables it. I have been conducting this research in India, the United Kingdom, France, and the United States.

Josef Korbel School of Global and Public Affairs
I am an Assistant Professor at the Josef Korbel School of Global and Public Affairs at the University of Denver. I am also a Council on Foreign Relations Term Fellow, a Research Fellow at the Research on International Policy Implementation Lab and a Senior Associate (non-resident) at the Center for Strategic and International Studies' (CSIS) Africa Program.
In 2021, I graduated from Yale University with a PhD in Political Science. 2015, I graduated with an MA in International Relations, with a focus on African Studies from Johns Hopkins SAIS. My research is at the intersection of security, gender, and governance, with a focus on sub-Saharan Africa.
My work has been published in International Security, Security Studies, Stability, Studies in Conflict and Terrorism, and African Studies Review. My first book, Women and the War on Boko Haram was published in 2017. My second book, In Love and at War: Marriage in Non-state Armed Groups, was published by Cambridge Elements in 2024.
