My research focuses on the interconnected issues of conflict and reconciliation. In particular, I am interested in the ways we manage and then overcome harm. This includes harm at the individual and community levels, as well as harms that take place as part of conflict and Genocide. As part of this, I explore the use of Restorative Justice and Restorative Practices to help build relationships in settings such as schools, housing, police-young people relationships, and in post-conflict societies. Recent work has taken me to Northern Ireland and Sierra Leone to explore how conflict resolution, particularly restorative justice, works.
