I have been conducting research on central African history and politics since I was awarded a Fulbright IIE scholarship to Gabon in 1999. I earned a MA and PhD in history from Indiana University. Since 2011, I have been a professor of history at Marywood University in Scranton, Pennsylvania. Through my research and my visits to both the DR Congo and Gabon, I have an extensive network of contacts in government, human rights, academic, and diplomatic circles in the Republic of Congo, Gabon, and the DRC.
