David Roberts studied undergraduate International Relations and Politics with an emphasis on the developing world. Inspired by a tutor, he undertook and completed a PhD on peacebuilding in Cambodia, at the time of biggest ever post-Cold War United Nations peacekeeping operation. His research centred on why the Khmer Rouge guerrillas refused to participate in the peacebuilding operation, and he followed his thesis up by locating and interviewing senior Khmer Rouge officers in hiding in northwestern Cambodia. He also worked on research programmes in Viet Nam, Sierra Leone and South Sudan. A central leitmotif of his work has been the study of power and oppression, informed intellectually by the likes of Foucault and critical and radical feminists like Spivak and hooks from the global north and south.  After 25 years of research-informed teaching deriving from fieldwork in Southeast Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa, David has turned his attention to teaching-informed research in multimedia learning and visual pedagogies. David presently teaches specialist modules and courses on business entrepreneurship in postconflict spaces and on visual communication. He was appointed Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy in 2017 and runs a consultancy that supports multimedia learning development and training in universities in the UK, Europe and US.   Find more about David's work below: https://www.linkedin.com/in/db-roberts-43154713/ https://www.davidrobertsonline.org/professional
