My research explores the relationships between politics, education, and identity in post-conflict countries, with a focus on the East African country of Burundi. Specifically, I look at how governments address ethnic and regional inequalities in schools after violence and the implications of a changing political economy post-war on perceptions of group-level inequalities. These perceptions of inequality have important implications for the role of education in peacebuilding and post-conflict development.
