Title: Global Conflict and Development
Summary of opportunity:
Sarah G. Phillips is Professor of Global Conflict and Development, and an Australian Research Council Future Fellow. Her research draws from years of in-depth fieldwork, and focuses on international intervention in the global south, knowledge production about conflict-affected states, and non-state governance, with a geographic focus on the Middle East and Africa.
