In this episode of the ACUNS Current Issues Podcast, Pamina Firchow, Assistant Professor at the School of Conflict Analysis and Resolution, George Mason University, joins co-host Alistair Edgar to discuss the Everyday Peace Indicators (EPI) research program, for which she is one of two Principal Investigators alongside Professor Roger MacGuinty of the University of Manchester. Dr. Firchow talks about the original impetus behind the EPI program, the countries and communities in which it currently is being undertaken, and the various methods and techniques – as well as technologies such as mobile phones – used to collect data in communities which may be very difficult to access due to physical location or levels of ongoing conflict. She also addresses the potential value of EPI to international organisations, as a unique and sensitive form of local early warning, and as a complement to other, different data bases on peace and conflict.
