Mia Cressman’s interest in humanitarian issues and international relations was shaped by 14 formative years living across Africa, sparking a deep curiosity about Sub-Saharan politics and decolonial thought. She recently earned a First Class Honours degree in Liberal Arts, majoring in Politics at King’s College London, where she focused on humanitarian policy and global decolonial justice. Her dissertation—Blackness, Gender and the Colonial Continuum of Sexual Violence: Contextualising Maria Lugones in the Democratic Republic of the Congo—affirmed her passion for research and writing. As she begins her professional journey, Mia is committed to advancing equitable, forward-thinking humanitarian strategies.
