Research Interest
My research interests cover the inter-related topics of conflict resolution, networks, information and communication technologies, organizational and institutional change, globalization, development and ethnographic research. I have conducted field research in Haiti, in Kosovo, in the United Nations in New York, and more recently online in a variety of settings. I am currently leading a H2020 funded European wide Consortium in Gaming for Peace (GAP), which is creating a curriculum in Soft Skills for peacekeeping personnel and embedding this curriculum in an online virtual reality game.
