African Scholarship and Practice for Conflict Transformation, Security Governance and Development

In this episode of the Kujenga Amani podcast, Dr. Olajumoke (Jumo) Ayandele, scholar-practitioner and a clinical assistant professor of transnational security at the Center for Global Affairs at New York University (NYU), addresses the importance of African scholarship in bridging the gap between knowledge and practice in a context of structural and emerging challenges on the continent. Drawing from her research and policy engagements in exploring African-led solutions that advance sustainable peace and development, as well as her membership on the Advisory Board of the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project (ACLED) and the United Nations Counter-Terrorism Committee Executive Directorate (CTED) Global Research Network, Dr. Jumo discusses her research and role as a practitioner, conflict dynamics in Africa, intentional curriculum building, progress and shortfalls in the continent's approach to counterterrorism. She also acknowledges the importance of leveraging diasporic networks for conflict transformation, while equally paying critical attention to the far-reaching implications of the 'Fourth Industrial Revolution' on Africa's peacebuilding landscape.
