Olivia Landau

Olivia Landau is a first year Master’s student at the Tufts Fletcher School for Global Affairs, focusing on international conflict and conflict resolution and gender and intersectional analysis. Her regional focus is sub-Saharan Africa. Before beginning graduate school, she worked in international development at Chemonics International in Washington, DC. Olivia has experience managing education and food security projects in the Middle East and Latin America and supporting crisis relief efforts during the Afghanistan and Haitian crises in 2021 and 2023 respectively. Olivia is grateful for the opportunities she has had to study abroad in Cape Town, work in a local township, and engage in short-term fieldwork in Guatemala City. With direct exposure to conflict-prone regions, Olivia is passionate about navigating complex, deep-rooted intergroup conflicts and is excited to engage with the Ilchamus and Pokot tribes this summer. Olivia holds a BA in International Affairs from the University of Southern California.
