Using the Ebola outbreak of 2014/15 as a case study, Robtel Neajai Pailey argues that Liberia’s postwar recovery is more likely to succeed if it factors in multiple layers of authority ‘below’ and ‘outside’ the state—such as domestic citizens and transnational actors. Dr Pailey underscores important correlations between Liberian-led public health measures and Ebola eradication. Her research provides a firm foundation for deeper analysis about the scope and magnitude of Liberian-led efforts during Ebola and highlights the need to document these initiatives further. Please register. This seminar will be followed (18:30-19:30) by a book presentation by the Liberian author Vamba Sherif.
