Profile Information

What motivated you to become involved in peace and conflict resolution?: Having seen violence around me, I wanted to understand how it worked. In other words, I wanted to investigate what processes or dynamics lead to individuals including personal and group violence as social action. As I looked into this, I became equally interested in individual choice not to use violence or to adopt nonviolence as individual and group social action, particularly in conditions of uncertainty and instability.

Please feel free to provide a short bio about yourself (no more than 3 paragraphs): Currently, I hold the position of Assistant Professor of Conflict Resolution Practice at the Institute for Conflict Analysis and Resolution, George Mason University, working with the undergraduate program. This assignment also includes serving as the Director of the Dialogue and Difference Project on the Fairfax campus. Previously I taught in the masters program and created the online course, Conflict Management, for Freie Universität Berlin. Primary research interests include generational and gendered dynamics of conflict and peace, social militarization processes, intrastate conflict, transition from war, and post-conflict social demilitarization. I have conducted seminars on interpersonal conflict resolution, facilitated intergenerational and interethnic dialogues, and served as a restorative justice practitioner.

Please list the countries and/or regions in which you have direct and significant expertise: My country expertise includes Sierra Leone, Liberia, Ethiopia, and Colombia.

What is your current country of residence?: United States
