Thesis Title: Institutionalizing Reconciliation: National Reconciliation and TRCs in Sierra Leone and Peru.
About
My dissertation examines participatory reconciliation processes in post-conflict societies. It examines the role and impact of national Truth and Reconciliation Commissions, as well as restorative justice mechanisms. It relies on fieldwork carried out in Sierra Leone and Peru. In addition to my dissertation research, I am interested in IR theory and qualitative research methodologies. I teach undergraduate seminars in the LSE IR Department, including "Sovereignty, Rights and Justice," and "International Organisations." I was co-editor of Millennium: Journal of International Studies, and am currently working on an edited book volume, entitled, "After Liberalism?" I taught in the summer peacebuilding program at the American University in Kosovo and I am teaching tutorials in the foreign service programme at Oxford University.
