Sebastian M. Saiegh is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Political Science at UC San Diego. He earned his Ph.D. in Political Science from New York University in 2004. 

His research interests cut across the fields of comparative politics, positive political theory, and political economy. In the research being discussed, Dr. Saiegh and his co-authors find a strong relationship between the history of civil conflict in a player’s home country and his propensity to behave violently on the soccer field, as measured by yellow and red cards.
