Welcome to the professional site of Dr. Christopher P. Davey

I am interdisciplinary scholar with a historical focus. My specializations are in Africa, peacebuilding, and genocide. I am currently a Visiting Assistant Professor with Binghamton University's Institute for Genocide and Mass Atrocity Prevention, and previously with Clark University's Strassler Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies as the Charles E. Scheidt Visiting Professor of Genocide Studies and Prevention. 

I am a leadership board member with Education for Global Peace, overseeing research and various other projects.

This site covers these areas of expertise and experience, including academic publications and research, as well as a few years of posts from my blog. 

My latest publications include: 

• Teaching Peace amidst Conflict and Postcolonialism, this book addresses the practices of peace education from around the world. The fundamental question answered here is: can peace be taught, especially where the scars of war and legacies of colonialism are entrenched in society?   

• "Rwandan genocide: 30 years on, why Tutsis are at the center of DR Congo's conflict" disucsses my recent research on the lasting, regional impact of the genocide. Read my other contributions to The Conversation here.

Listen to my interviews with new authors at the New Books Network. Read here about my current research funded by the Harry Frank Guggneheim Distinguished Scholar award. Learn more about the Gatumba Survivors Project here and our ongoing research.

Please get in touch via the contact page if you have any questions or are interested in collaborating with me.
