- Hello, My name is Yves-Renee Jennings. I am from Haiti and have been living in the Washington D.C area since the 1980s when I was recruited to work for the World Bank. I am currently a World Bank retiree. I am very interested in mutlicultural conflict resolution and leadership issues with regard to social change. I also want to carry out some community development work at the local level either in the US or in Africa. I am currenly pursuing my studies at the George Mason University Institute for Conflict Analysis and Resolution and hope to complete my doctoral coursework in 2009. My Research area include my areas of research interest include the regional dimensions of social conflicts within West Africa. This would entail the examination of political leadership role within the context of societal transformation in countries such as Liberia and Sierra Leone, through grassroots empowerment and participation of civil society and top leadership. Within this context, I am also interested in looking at social change with regard to structural and societal transformations that take into account distributive conflicts and economic reforms during political transitions, peace-building in post-war torn countries while gaining some insight on political and economic sociology with respect to social conflicts and the empowerment of marginalized groups.
