Victor has been involved in conflict resolution and peacebuilding on a professional basis for over eighteen years. Beginning in 1988 with graduate studies at George Mason University’s Institute for Conflict Analysis and Resolution and subsequently while teaching at the George Mason and Georgetown University in Washington DC, he began building a consulting practice around conflict resolution skills development and facilitated approaches to inter-group relations. His consulting work during this period ranged from teaching conflict resolution skills to primary school students to trying to do the same with United Nations diplomats in New York City; from facilitating dialogue between police and inner city youth in Washington, DC to dialogue between Arab and Jewish academics from the Middle East. Increasingly drawn to trying to undertand and work with complexities of power and culture in conflict (and in group interactions generally), Victor left Washington in 2000 to direct the VOICE project, a peacebuilding and civil society strengthening initiative, for CARE Sri Lanka. He has been in Asia ever since, working with various organisations in the region with a particular focus on the integration of conflict resolution and peacebuilding techniques in development interventions. His Asia-based consulting practice has involved work with NGOs and INGOs in Tajikistan, India, Nepal, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka as well as work at the Asia regional level. Victor is currently based in Dhaka, Bangladesh.
