This site houses information on my work and publications, as well as a host of resources. My work largely focuses on the psychological implications of strategies for dealing with a violent political past such as truth commissions, reconciliation as a theoretical and applicable concept, truth recovery processes and transitional justice more broadly, healing and dealing with the psychological legacy of violence, as well as comparative research on violence and crime in countries in transition. I also write a bi-monthly opinion column "Look South" for Polity focused on topical issues. The site also includes some of my published creative writing, including short stories and poetry.
