Professeur titulaire | Corps professoral
Profil
Les int茅r锚ts de recherche du professeur Philip Onguny s’articulent autour de trois grands th猫mes: violences politiques, conflicts identitaires, et le r么le des m茅dias dans la transformation des conflits et construction de la paix. Il s’int茅resse 茅galement aux politiques de d茅veloppement international et 脿 l’action humanitaire dans les soci茅t茅s fragiles et/ou touch茅es par les conflits. Professeur Onguny m猫ne pr茅sentement un projet de recherche financ茅 par le CRSH qui vise 脿 茅laborer une typologie compr茅hensive afin de mieux comprendre les principaux enjeux de la violence ethno-politique et conflits fonciers en Afrique. Ce projet est r茅alis茅 脿 partir d’une ethnographie multi-situ茅e au Kenya.
- Violence ethnique
- Mondialisation et technologies de l'information et de la communication
- Gestion et r猫glement de conflits
