About

Liberia and Liberians captivate me.  I blog about the country’s politics and transitional justice processes, and its peoples’ aspirations.

I received a BA from Emory University.  After graduating I worked as an intern in Nigeria with Constitutional Rights Project, a local human rights group.  I then worked with Global Rights, an international human rights group, in Liberia.  Most recently I worked with a foundation in New York.  My CV (as a Word document) is here.

I like riding trains, the Sunday New York Times, and hummus.  My favorite book is Acts of Faith by Philip Caputo.

I welcome feedback on this blog.  My email is shelbygrossman (at) gmail (dot) com.
