Short presentation

I am interested in the intersection between democratization, peacebuilding and statebuilding.

I work on the political mobilization of ex-combatants, and the long-term conditions of peace, and the conceptualization of relational peace.

I am interested in methodology, and explore different forms of interviews, such as focus groups and life history interviews.

I also research African taxation practices and mobilization among far-right online activists.

You can find out more about me on my website.
