Setup guide — Felipe Ribeiro academic site

Setup guide — Felipe Ribeiro academic site

This is a Jekyll site (the “academicpages” template) pre-filled with what I already know about your work. It builds natively on GitHub Pages — no Node, no Ruby install, no GitHub Actions needed. You just push and GitHub builds it.

1. Put it on GitHub

  1. Create a new GitHub repository named exactly felarib.github.io (this exact naming is what makes GitHub serve it as a website).
  2. Push this folder’s contents to that repo’s main branch.
  3. In the repo’s Settings → Pages, confirm the source is set to deploy from main (this is usually automatic for a USERNAME.github.io repo).
  4. Your site will be live at https://felarib.github.io within a few minutes.

2. Replace the placeholders (search for “TODO”)

  • _config.yml — your real email, Google Scholar / ORCID links if you have them (url and repository are already set to felarib.github.io).
  • images/profile.png — swap in a real headshot (same filename, or update the avatar field in _config.yml).
  • _pages/cv.md — add your prior degree(s) under Education, and upload an actual CV PDF to files/ if you want a downloadable version (update the link at the top of the page).
  • _pages/contact.md — your real email and any additional contact info.

3. Add more content as you have it

  • Publications: add a new .md file to _publications/, following the format in the existing paving-the-way-for-violence.md. category must be one of manuscripts, underreview, or workingpapers (see _config.yml → publication_category if you want to rename or add categories).
  • Teaching: add a new .md file to _teaching/, following the format of the existing two courses.
  • I only added the one paper and two courses I actually have confirmed details for (from our conversation history) — add the rest of your CV content the same way, or paste it to me and I’ll draft the files.

What’s already filled in

  • Bio (_pages/about.md): postdoc position, PhD, dissertation finding, current teaching, languages.
  • Research page: your four current projects (logistical violence premium / LAPS R&R, kingpin decapitation dataset, book project, Lusophone Africa framing-stage work) and methods.
  • Publications: the LAPS revise-and-resubmit paper.
  • Teaching: your two Georgia Tech courses.
  • CV: current appointment, research interests, languages, and pulls in the publications/teaching collections automatically.

Note on what I deliberately left out

I did not list your pending fellowship/job applications (St Andrews, MSCA Cambridge, CAPES-Humboldt, etc.) as CV line items — those are applications in progress, not secured positions, and listing them as if awarded would misrepresent your record to a search committee. Add them once (if) they’re confirmed.
