"Ann Laudati is currently a Visiting Professor in the geography department at the University of California, Berkeley. Her work looks at the intersection between natural resources and violent conflict in Eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, where she has been conducting fieldwork since 2009. Her most recent work focuses on the creation of insecurity for Congolese farmers through the securitization of the marijuana trade; she argues that the heavy emphasis on mineral resources misses other key natural resources that contribute to Congo's violent landscape."
