- Nice to learn of you, Mohamed.
See the Africa Peace and Conflict Network: africapeace.org & let me know if you ever wish to explore collaborations or submit work for publication peer review - we accept many types of material, incl multimedia, conference reports, practitioner reflections, book/film reviews, etc.
Also, APCN began planning for a symposium on gender-sensitive humanitarian and conflict operations, but the person organizing that has taken time off so that project is awaiting a new person to direct the planning. Refer anyone interested to me, please; if you know of any.
Best,
Mark Davidheiser
