Research Interests

I am researching the bottom-up approach to the construction of peace in the urban areas of Cameroon. Research in the urban areas will include processes for alleviating the ethnic tension in the capital of Yaounde. Furthermore, I examine the creation and resolution of conflict between traditional Bamileke chiefdoms of West Cameroon.
