Sara Koopman, Ph.D. is an Assistant Professor in School of Peace and Conflict Studies at Kent State University.
Much of her research is on civilian peacekeeping. This is a growing strategy in conflict zones where international civilians who are less at-risk escort local peace activists who are under threat. Koopman's ongoing research is with accompaniers specifically in Colombia, the country with the largest number of these civilian peacekeeping organizations.
