Stephanie Bengtsson is a Research Scholar with the Wittgenstein Centre for Demography and Global Human Capital in Vienna, Austria.

Sarah Dryden-Peterson is an Associate Professor of Education at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, USA, where she teaches about education in settings of conflict and qualitative research methods. Her research focuses on education in armed conflict and the ways in which learning, pedagogies, and relationships may alter trajectories of conflict for nation-states and individuals.
