Biography
Jonathan M. Sears approaches International Development Studies and Comparative Politics of Sub-Saharan Africa from a multi-disciplinary background in political studies (Ph.D., Queen’s University), political theory (M.A., Brock University), and anthropology (B.A. Hons, Saint Thomas University). As the focus of recent writing, Dr. Sears seeks to place events in Mali and Sahelian Africa since 2011 in historical and cultural context, as part of his ongoing investigation of how citizen identity in African contexts is rooted in multiple cultures, and how these political cultures are affected by individuals’ and groups’ responses to economic and political liberalization, as well as to post-conflict peacebuilding at the interface of international and national actors and institutions.
