Addi Haran Diman is a DPhil student in politics at the Department of Politics and International Relations at the University of Oxford, where she is also the Menashe Ben Israel scholar at Lincoln College. Her research interests span the fields of comparative politics and international relations but substantively focus on the comparative and historical political economy of violence and conflict processes.

Astrid is currently reading for the DPhil International Relations. Her research focuses on the development of "official" (state led) memory regimes in the aftermath of traumatic national events, with a particular interest in the politics of forgetting and the role of official memory in state building. Her PhD project focuses on the origins, development, and contestation of memory regimes in east Africa, aiming to conduct a comparative analysis of the development of post-colonial memory regimes in Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania.

I am currently pursuing a DPhil in Politics. My doctoral research focuses on the organisational structure of nationalist and Eurosceptic right-wing parties and their links with extra-parliamentary groups. Prior to my DPhil, I worked in political risk and management consulting for five years. I have an MSc in Comparative Political Economy and a BA in Politics and Economics.
