Meet the Team

Co-founded and co-led by Claudine Kuradusenge-McLeod and Jeff Bachman, the Mass Atrocity Research Initiative (MARI) uses a critical approach to research mass atrocities to provide rigorous academic understanding of the socio-political factors leading to atrocities while delivering policy-related recommendations to improve our political and legal system. Its first two projects: the Mass Atrocity Accountability Project (MAAP) and the United States Atrocities Accountability Project (USAAP) aims to understand how political narratives and actions increase the probability of mass violence occurring.
