Current Position
Ph.D. Peace and Conflict Research, Uppsala University, 2014
M.A. Peace and Conflict Research, Uppsala University, 2004
B.A. Political Science, Uppsala University, 2001
Since February 2014 I am employed as a researcher and lecturer at the Department of Peace and Conflict Research
at Uppsala University. The research is carried out within two projects. 1). Causes of Peace – The Botswana,
Malawi and Zambia “Zone of Peace” project funded by The Swedish Research Council (U-forsk). Botswana,
Malawi and Zambia constitute a “Zone of Peace” spared from violent conflict since independence. The project
aims to explain why peace has prevailed in these countries despite being located in the world’s most volatile
continent with all their neighbors struck by conflict. 2).”Demagogues of Hate or Shepherds of Peace? Why
‘Warlord Democrats’ (Re) securitize Wartime Identities” that examines why some former commanders use
violence whereas others do not. I am responsible for the South Sudan part of this project. The teaching primarily
consists of being course convenor of the Peace, War and Democratization MA-course and supervising MA-theses.
I also have teaching responsibilities at all different levels at the department (BA, Master and PhD). These
responsibilities include all parts of teaching, such as being course director, lecturer, supervisor and examiner. At
the moment I am also developing a new Master-course, Causes of Peace, offered at our department during the fall
of 2016. From 1 January 2015 until 31 August 2015 I was on 80% parental leave. This equals full-time parental
leave for about 6.5 months.
Previous Positions
From June 2008 until February 2014 I was a PhD-candidate at the Department of Peace and Conflict Research at
Uppsala University. My dissertation deals with communal conflicts and why they turn violent in some regions but
not in others. I use a comparative approach, based on field-work, and compare three different regions – Darfur,
Eastern Sudan and Jonglei – of Sudan and Southern Sudan.
I spent the spring of 2012 as a visiting scholar at the Center on International Cooperation at New York
University. During my time as PhD-candidate I have also served as a member of an academic task force set up in
order to support the work of the UNSG Special Envoy on Darfur (Jan Eliasson). In addition, I have worked as a
consultant for the Mediation Support Unit at the Department of Political Affairs, United Nations.
From August 2005 until I started the PhD-program I worked within the Uppsala Conflict Data Program
(UCDP). Before taking up the position as project leader for the Uppsala Conflict Database in 2006 I worked as a
research assistant with prevention and human security issues.
