Adel Dashela is a Finnish-Yemeni academic researcher and lecturer, formerly a Postdoctoral Fellow at Columbia University’s Global Center for Middle Eastern Studies. His research includes post conflict transitional justice, tribal mediation, conflict resolution, and state–society relations in the Arab region, with the broader aim of contributing to lasting peace and reconciliation in the Arab conflict-affected societies.
Dashela is currently working on a research project examining transitional justice in post-war Yemen. The project approaches post-conflict justice from a social perspective, centring key social actors, including tribes, youth, women, victims’ families, and marginalized groups. It also explores the role of tribes in facilitating restorative justice and contributing to transitional justice efforts that support long-term peace and stability in Yemen.
