Introduction

I’m focusing on two main subjects right now. One is a historical look at how wars end. I’m looking at a handful of different wars to try to understand what factors led to the end of violence and what sort of peace followed. The other is an ongoing reporting project on sexual violence in conflict. I’m interested in where and why it happens and what the medical, humanitarian, legal, and political response looks like.  I started working on it after meeting rape survivors from Darfur in the refugee camps in Chad last August.
