Margee Ensign is the 29th President of Dickinson’s College. Prior to Dickinson, she served for seven years as the president of the American University of Nigeria (AUN). She also co-founded the Adamawa Peace Initiative, a locally based response to the threat from Boko Haram violence, which successfully promoted peace in the area, and assisted close to 300,000 refugees for three years. She is the author and editor of four books, including ""Rwanda: History and Hope"", ""Confronting Genocide in Rwanda"" and ""Doing Good or Doing Well? Japan’s Foreign Aid Program"". She has presented at the World Economic Forum, been interviewed multiple times by the BBC and CNN, written for The Washington Post and has testified before Congress on international affairs, and foreign assistance Jean-Pierre Karegeye is visiting scholar in philosophy at Dickinson College. In addition to a Ph.D. in Francophone literature (University of California at Berkeley), Karegeye earned two master’s degrees in social ethics and in French, three bachelor’s degrees in African linguistics, philosophy, and theology. His work on genocide, religious violence, and child soldiering focuses on testimony and explores both fictional and non-fictional narratives. Some of his current projects explore how genocide and religious radicalization in Africa imply a reconstruction and a relocation of social sciences and humanities. He has (co-) authored six books and journals and more than 50 articles including Children in Armed Conflicts (2012), ""Ruanda: de la literatura post-genocidio o el dialogo entre testimonio y compromiso"" (2012) and ""Religion, Politics, and Genocide in Rwanda"" (2012).
