Generally, I am interested in two broad areas. First, 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 (e.g., dyorep) and individual cases (the United States: social movement and anti-movement interactions, riots/rebllions), Rwanda (genocide), India (untouchability), Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Zimbabwe, Mexico and Northern Ireland) as well as employ a diverse range of approaches (i.e., statistical research, ethnography, film and gaming). Additionally, I am interested in peace and peace making - particularly understanding what it is, how it can be measured and what can be done to create/sustain/expand it. This interest has thus far been largely conceptual but I am creating some measurements for it that can be implemented globally.
