As an award-winning researcher and author on war and peace, I am an expert in peacebuilding, peacekeeping, international aid, and African civil wars, especially in the Democratic Republic of Congo. I have authored the books Peaceland and The Trouble with the Congo in addition to 31 scholarly, policy, and news articles. When I am not out conducting research, I work as a Professor of Political Science—specializing in international relations—at Barnard College, Columbia University (USA).
