In April, 2019 Roxani Krystalli attended an invitation-only workshop on female fighters at Columbia University. The workshop was co-convened by Professor Dipali Mukhopadhyay and Nimmi Gowrinathan, PhD. It brought together researchers, practitioners and activists who think about women’s multiple roles in war in different contexts. In addition to a closed workshop, at which Roxani presented her ongoing research in Colombia, Roxani participated in a public event on this topic at Columbia’s School of International and Public Affairs (SIPA).
