With Ervin Staub (Professor Emeritus and Founding Director, 2004-2005), Rezarta Bilali and Johanna Vollhardt have worked with journalists and practitioners in Rwanda and Burundi to develop media broadcasts that incorporate experiences from victims of ethnic violence, to help community members empower themselves and reace peace with their former tormentors.

With Linda Tropp, local, and regional organizations, Katya Migacheva coordinates multiple research studies and evaluations of school-based programs designed to improve interracial relations among youth and train children to intervene when they perceive that others are mistreated or victimized.
