Vision Statement

 

I am motivated by my experience of working with people living with conflict across the Middle East, Central Asia and Horn of Africa as well as in the UK. As a member of the research group in Peacebuilding and Conflict Transformation I am keen to develop understanding of the margin of agency for individuals to deal with conflict and transform power relations without recourse to violence. I understand violence can be both coercive and intersubjective. This has led me to research issues such as the way that individuals will put their own lives on the line, the way in which people act in solidarity with each other, and the way in which people tell stories of the past. From March 2020 - January 2022 I have been the Course Director for the MA Peace and Conflict Studies.
