Biography

Agatha is a PhD Candidate at George Mason’s School for Conflict Analysis and Resolution (S-CAR), and her dissertation work is grounded in narrative studies and social constructionism that argues humans engage in a dynamic process of meaning-making in the form of stories. Her research is on the transformation of violent individuals who have recanted, focusing on how their narratives evolve from stories justifying violence towards those justifying peace. Prior to S-CAR, Agatha earned a Master's degree at the Jagiellonian University in Krakow, Poland, where she also spent time as a U.S. Fulbright Scholar. Before that, she earned her BA in Government studies at Harvard University.
