Biography
Karina V. Korostelina is Professor and Director of the Peace Lab on Reconciling Conflict and Intergroup Divisions at the Carter School for Peace and Conflict Resolution, George Mason University, USA.
'Karina Korostelina's research on the resilience of Washington, D.C.'s segregated communities is a significant contribution to the peacebuilding community's increasing and important focus on the "local-local" -- what local front-line communities and their leaders do to end and prevent violence. Korostelina's systems framework for understanding and assessing community resilience capacity and activities is straightforward and convincing, and, in its application, not only gives voice to community leaders, it gives them authority in the management and prevention of violence.'-- Dr. Lauren Van Metre, Senior Advisor, Peace and Security, The National Democratic Institute, USA
