CGHR Practitioner Series: Meet Mary Harper

The CGHR Practitioner Series allows students to hear from and ask questions of seasoned practitioners working in international politics, journalism, development and humanitarianism.

Come join us for an exciting event at the Alison Richards Building, Room S1 where we will be hosting Mary Harper for our CGHR Practitioner Series. Mary Harper is a journalist, author and broadcaster. She has reported on Africa for the BBC for 30 years and was its Africa Editor for more than a decade. She has a special interest in the Horn of Africa, especially Somalia, where she spends much of her time. Most of her reporting has been from conflict zones.

She has set up an award-winning independent media house in Mogadishu, Bilan, where she works alongside the team of young women journalists.

She advises governments, the United Nations and other institutions, and is a board member of several Africa-related organisations. Mary is a regular speaker and moderator at literary festivals, conferences and other events.

She is an expert witness in Somali-related legal cases and is a fellow of The Rift Valley Institute and The Heritage Institute for Policy Studies.
