Bio
B.A. in social science and music at Bennington College, VT; M.S. in human rights at London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE).
I am interested in peace and conflict studies, sociology of culture, human rights, and international relations with a specific focus on improving intergroup relations, especially in post-conflict or divided societies, analyzing the collective action movements, and looking into the role of education, history and arts in social justice movements and reconciliation processes.
