MSC VIOLENCE, CONFLICT AND DEVLOPMENT, SOAS UNIVERSITY OF LONDON

I have recently graduated from King’s College London with a Bachelors in History and International Relations. I have chosen to study the dynamics of violence and conflict in relation to development because I believe that this is one of the biggest factors that is inhibiting successful development programmes. At SOAS, I hope to learn about development agendas and ways of thought that privilege a nation’s ability to exercise agency. By learning the nuances of development, I hope to positively contribute to the development sector in ways that do not negatively impact nations nor victimise them.
