About Christopher Davey

I am a researcher and teacher in genocide studies and peace and conflict studies, as well as being an experienced diversity project manager. I was previously the Charles E. Scheidt Visiting Assistant Professor of Genocide Studies and Prevention at Clark University's Strassler Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies. I serve on the board and run research projects with Education for Global Peace. I am currently affiliated with SUNY Binghamton University's Institute of Genocide and Mass Atrocity Prevention as a Visiting Assistant Professor and live with my family in New England. My research explores the connections of genocide across DR Congo and Rwanda, and contemporary perspectives on genocide from identity to diaspora mobilizations of genocide, and climate related violence.

Christopher P. Davey is Visiting Assistant Professor at Clark University's Strassler Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies.
