Angie Zheng

Angie Zheng is a graduate student in the Master of Arts in Conflict Resolution program at Georgetown University. Her research interests include atrocity prevention, transitional justice, contemporary political thought, and critical theory. As an MA student, Angie has served as a policy intern at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum’s Simon-Skjodt Center for the Prevention of Genocide and as a Peace Games Fellow at the United States Institute of Peace. Her current research draws on the work of political theorist Achille Mbembe to examine how states render certain lives disposable through mass disabling events, subjecting entire populations to a "living death" through the immiseration and exploitation of bodies and ecosystems. As a Peace Fellow, Angie hopes to engage with families affected by Agent Orange and better understand how environmental warfare inflicts generational harm, reshaping lives long after conflict ends.
