Makiko Toda

	Faculty for The Study of Contemporary Society, Kyoto Women’s University
Research Fields	My specialty is International Relations and Comparative Political Studies. My original intention was to analyze African ethnic conflicts by using the consociational democratic approach, however after participating in JICA’s grassroots technical cooperation project, I shifted my focus to gender issues in Somali settlements in north-eastern Kenya. In the course of my research, I collected information about a massacre that took place in the area in the 1980s.
