Mark LeVine

As an historian, Dr. LeVine studies the social, cultural and economic history of Africa and the Middle East in global contexts. His focus with the Glasser Center is on the ways in which refugees and displaced people use music to reclaim, preserve and create intangible cultural heritage, and how music helps foster communal resilience, intercommunal solidarity, conflict resolution, and entrepreneurship in three African settings: The Kakuma Refugee Camp in Turkana, Kenya, the Chicoco/CMAP collective in Port Harcourt, Nigeria and Yole!Africa, in Goma, DRC.
