What motivated you (or your organization) to become involved in peace and conflict resolution?

"It is to no purpose, it is even against one’s better interest,
to turn away from the consideration of the affair
because the horror of its elements excites repugnance."

Carl Von Clausewitz

Please feel free to provide a short bio about yourself or the work of your organization (no more than 3 paragraphs)

I graduated from the University of Essex with a BA in Politics in International Relations in 2005. I then proceeded to appropriate professional experience, firstly through the completion of an internship in Sarajevo, Bosnia & Herzegovina, and then through a government role in London.

My curiosity in conflict resolution not diminished, I returned to post-graduate study at the University of Amsterdam through undertaking an MA in Conflict Resolution and Governance.

My primary areas of thematic interest incluse; sociology of conflict, identity as a primer to conflict and ethnic violence. I will be conducting fieldwork for my theses this spring, most likely in Nepal.
