Two Years After Insurrection: A Conversation with Dr. Barbara F. Walter & Farai Chideya

Jan 4, 2023


Since supporters of then President Trump stormed the U.S. Capitol on January 6th, 2021, over 900 people have been charged — from assault, to destruction of government property. Words like “Insurrection” continue to be featured on news outlets — and after the FBI raid on Trump’s Mar a Lago resort in August, Twitter references to “civil war” jumped 3,000%.

To unpack what is going on — and why — join us for a special conversation with Dr. Walter from the nationally syndicated radio show, Our Body Politic with the host, creator, and award-winning journalist, Farai Chideya.

Dr. Barbara F Walter has over 20 years of experience in the field, and in 2017 she joined the CIA Political Instability Task Force analyzing international data to predict where conflict might happen next. She’s the Rohr Chair of International Affairs at the School of Global Policy & Strategy at the University of California, San Diego and author of the New York Times bestselling book, How Civil Wars Start: And How to Stop Them.

Barbara F. Walter, PhD, is the Rohr Professor of International Affairs at the School of Global Policy & Strategy at the University of California, San Diego. She received her Ph.D from the University of Chicago and completed post docs at the Olin Institute for Strategic Studies at Harvard University and the War and Peace Institute at Columbia University.

Walter is one of the world’s leading experts on civil wars, political violence, and terrorism. Her books include the award-winning Committing to Peace: Why Negotiations Fail, Reputation and Civil War, and Civil Wars, Insecurity, and Intervention. Her newest book — How Civil Wars Start (and How to Stop Them) — explores whether the U.S. is heading toward a second civil war.

Walter is the recipient of the 2022 National Peacemaker Award, the Susan Strange Award (given to the scholar of international studies “whose singular intellect, assertiveness, and insight most challenge conventional wisdom and international and organizational complacency”), and is a permanent member of the Council on Foreign Relations, a frequent live guest on CNN, MSNBC and an occasional consultant for the World Bank, the United Nations, the Departments of Defense and State, and the January 6th Committee. Walter occasionally writes for the Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal, and the Los Angeles Times, and is very happy when her research is showcased in the New York Times or the New Yorker, her favorite hometown publications. In 2012, she founded the blog Political Violence @ a Glance (with Erica Chenoweth) which sometimes beats out the Washington Post’s Monkey Cage for Best Group Blog of the Year.
