I am Senior Research Fellow at the Center for Peace and Human Security at The American University of Kurdistan, Kurdistan Region of Iraq; and also Adjunct Professor of Development Studies at the Institut Supérieur des Techniques de Développement of Kalehe, Democratic Republic of Congo. My original specialization has been in insurgency studies, focusing on the role of humiliation in relation to the emergence of insurgencies, mostly in a Middle Eastern context. I have published on Lebanon and Iraq, and have worked on both countries for the first ten years of my career.
I am now academically engaged in Critical Terrorism Studies, Post-Liberal Peace Studies and War Studies. Using these aforementioned sub-fields, I am conducting a research project on resilience in peace and war in Fallujah, Iraq, at the War Studies Department of King's College London. I have conducted research in more than 15 countries on all continents (Burma, Colombia, DR Congo, Kashmir, Somalia, Syria, Yemen, etc).
My most recent book, Decolonizing Peace, was published in 2012 with Dignity Press. Its Spanish edition came out in 2013 with Javeriana University Press, Colombia.
