black woman professor at King\u2019s College delivers inaugural lecture by Desmond Davies, GNA"},"content":{"rendered":"<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">London, July 20, GNA \u2013 Professor \u2019Funmi Olonisakin, 53, has become the first black woman to deliver an Inaugural Lecture in the almost 190-year history of King\u2019s College London, the fourth oldest university in England.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cNot before now has a black woman grown and risen through the ranks at King\u2019s to become a professor and to give an Inaugural Lecture for the first time in its esteemed history,\u201d she told a packed auditorium at the university.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The Lecture is usually given by \u201cnewly-promoted or appointed professors to inform colleagues in the university and the general public, about their research career so far; and update colleagues on their current and future research directions\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Born to Nigerian parents in South London, Prof Olonisakin spent her formative years in Nigeria where she obtained a BSc in political science at Obafemi Awolowo University in 1984.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Returning to London, she received an MA in War Studies (1990) and a <\/span>PhD<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> also in War Studies (1996) from King\u2019s College.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">At <\/span>King\u2019s<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> she is currently Professor of Security, Leadership and Development at the African Leadership Centre (ALC) in the School of Global Affairs, and Vice-President\/Vice-Principal (International).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">She established and acted as the founding director of the ALC in 2010, which aims to build the next generation of African scholars and analysts generating <\/span>cutting edge<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> knowledge for conflict, security <\/span>and<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> development in Africa.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">A number of Ghanaians have been students at the ALC, which offers a Masters course in London and a Women\u2019s Fellowship programme in Nairobi.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">For over 20 years, Prof Olonisakin researched issues at the intersection of security and development, positioning her work to serve as a bridge between academia, policy <\/span>and<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> practice.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">She has contributed to efforts to tackle the structural roots of armed conflict in developing countries, particularly in Africa.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In the last decade, Prof Olonisakin led multi-country research projects on reframing narratives of peace and <\/span>state building<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> in Africa and on leadership and peacebuilding in Africa.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Her current research is on \u201cFuture Peace and the role of the State in Africa\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Prof Olonisakin worked at the UN between 1999 and 2003 before returning to King\u2019s.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In January 2015, she was appointed by the then UN Secretary-General, Ban <\/span>Ki Moon<span style=\"color: #000000;\">, as one of seven members of the Advisory Group of Experts on the Review of the UN Peacebuilding Architecture.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">She is currently a member of the UN Group of Experts for the Global Study of Youth, Peace <\/span>and<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> Security.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Not surprisingly, in her inaugural lecture, Prof Olonisakin placed some emphasis on her time at the UN, pointing out that her \u201cexperience as a staff member of the United Nations\u2026 transformed my worldview\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cFirst, Africa\u2019s footprint on the UN Security Council\u2019s agenda was hugely disproportionate to the continent\u2019s representation in the places where decisions about the destiny of Africans were being made,\u201d she said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cSecond, the voice of young people was glaringly absent \u2013 notwithstanding my own privileged position \u2013 particularly African youth (most especially women), who were rarely found among the JPOs [Junior Professional Officers] and interns.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cAgain, power dynamics were at play such that only wealthier member states who provided voluntary contributions and other support to the relevant UN offices had Junior Professional Officers in the Secretariat,\u201d Prof Olonisakin told her audience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cThirdly, far too few African representatives seemed to grasp these realities and the structural flaws that stunted the progress of the UN in various ways.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cIf they did, it was not apparent in their actions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cFourth and of immediate relevance to the academic environment to which I would return at King\u2019s, I noted that the intellectual project of peace was too policy-driven, ideological and not sufficiently critical in its approach.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Prof Olonisakin went on: \u201cSecurity Studies and Peace Studies were not always closely integrated notwithstanding that the imperatives of the post-Cold War era aligned their objectives.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cThe pursuit of negative peace that is bringing violence to an end had become an end in itself without corresponding investments in conflict transformation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cFifth and linked to the last point, what has become a peacebuilding dilemma and posed a major challenge for the UN peace and security agenda is the problem of conflict relapse.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cIn about 50 <\/span>per cent<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> of cases where the UN has intervened to build peace, it has returned to make peace again within 10 years,\u201d Prof Olonisakin added.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">She pointed out that available data also suggested that the UN had mainly deployed its peace intervention in traditional conflict situations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cThe capacity to respond flexibly to new security threats or <\/span>low intensity<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> conflicts has been less obvious,\u201d she continued.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cOverall, sadly, our orientation as UN staff was almost religiously focused on the perspectives of state officials.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cI was somewhat unquestioning about the <\/span>idealised<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> pursuit of a particular kind of democratic state.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cBy seeking a romantic \u2013 <\/span>idealised<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> solution \u2013 we risk doing more harm than good or at best doing no good, notwithstanding all of our good intentions,\u201d Prof Olonisakin said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The University of Pretoria in South Africa appointed her as an Extra-Ordinary Professor in 2016, following an earlier award as a Mellon Foundation Distinguished Scholar on Peace and Conflict in 2013.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The Geneva Centre for Security Policy also appointed her as a Distinguished Fellow in April 2014.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">She was Director of the Conflict, Security and Development Group at King\u2019s from 2003 until 2013.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Prof Olonisakin worked in the Office of the United Nations Special Representative of the Secretary-General on Children and Armed Conflict, overseeing the Africa programme.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In this role, she facilitated the establishment of the National Commission for <\/span>War Affected<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> Children in Sierra Leone and the Child Protection Unit in the Economic Community of West African States.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:
