Generally, I am interested in political conflict and violence - particularly that involving governments and those affiliated with them (e.g., genocide/politicide, mass killing, torture, bans, curfews, beatings, arrests for political purposes and domestic spying).  I have a broad interest in the topic, which has brought me to look at both global patterns and individual cases (the United States, Rwanda, India, Northern Ireland as well as more recently Darfur, Sudan and Mexico) as well as employ a diverse range of approaches (i.e., statistical research, ethnography, film and gaming).  


On this website, you will find materials relevant to eight areas: 

    Archiving - collections of information relevant to conflict    
    Analysis - explorations into the macro and micro determinants of contentious politics
     Scholarism - attempts to stop/limit conflict and obtain justice
    Artistic Expression - stories, photography and board games about conflict, identity & discovery
    Audio/Video - recordings and/or videos of presentations
    About Me - my vitae, publications, teaching materials as well as some personal information
    About My Students - current as well as those that have graduated  
Analog, the Anti-blog - thoughts, quotes, pictures, whatever...

Enjoy
