Eric Schoon is a political sociologist whose research examines the roles of culture and institutions in contentious politics. Central to his research agenda is the study of legitimacy—including how it is defined, how it is invoked, and its variable effects—in the context of political violence.

Additionally, he is engaged in research advancing comparative and relational methods of analysis of rare events.
