In this week’s episode, I chat with Hilary Matfess (@HilaryMatfess), a doctoral student in political science at Yale University, where she studies the intersection of conflict, governance, and gender. In our conversation, we talk about her new book, Women and the War on Boko Haram, which just came out this week.
Absent our news round-up, check out the latest newsletter from This Week in Africa, catching you up on all that’s happening on the continent right now.
