I am an Assistant Professor of Political Science, specializing in international relations
and African studies, at Barnard College, Columbia University (USA).
I work on civil wars, peacebuilding, peacekeeping, humanitarian aid, and African politics.
The TED talk based on my Trouble with the Congo book has just been released. Enjoy!
