Academic Leader at TEC of MONTERREY: Dr. Zahar


Yesterday we had the pleasure to hear a former colleague at McGill University, Dr. Marie-Joelle Zahar, speak at the TEC of Monterrey (Campus Queretaro). She is now a professor at the University of Montreal. Here is a link to the Academic Leaders' project she was involved with at my university (in Spanish):

Marie-Joelle Zahar is an expert on militias and war economies. Zahar tries to analyze how militias might exit from the armed struggle, or the reasons why they continue to take up arms after official "peace deals" are signed. As a specialist on fascism and neo-fascism, what we have in common is a focus on political manifestations of violence.
