 Zoe's current book project examines the internal dynamics of rebellion in Sierra Leone to understand how and why rebel groups can sustain a viable threat to the state without widespread support. It draws on nearly a decade of fieldwork, several hundred interviews with former combatants and community members, and private archives from members of the Revolutionary United Front. She is also leading a separate project that examines how wartime experiences shape individual wellbeing and community reintegration after war.
