Chief Ethics
Advisor

Johanna Söderström is Senior Lecturer at the Department of Government, Uppsala University, and a member of the research network Varieties of Peace and Politics After War. Söderström has a PhD in political science (2011, Uppsala University). Overall, her work is concerned with questions concerning democratization after war, peacebuilding and statebuilding, often focusing on former combatants. Her typical regional focus is Sub-Saharan Africa, and she has worked a lot on Liberia in the past. Her most recent book Living Politics After War (Manchester University Press) deals with the intrinsically politicized life after war that veterans from both the Global South and Global North are faced with as they come home from war. The book is based on three cases: Colombia, Namibia and the USA.
