Eye on 4R Network: In-Community Reintegration & Rehabilitation - The case of Central Asia
Feb 02, 2023
Lucinda Creighton

In today's episode of our series on the 4R Network, Lucinda speaks with social neuroscientist Mike Niconchuk and Noah Tucker, consultant for CEP’s Rehabilitation & Reintegration project in Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan.  As an applied neuroscience researcher and practitioner, Mike Niconchuk focuses on trauma recovery in conflict-affected populations, and the relationship between trauma, extremism, intergroup violence. Noah Tucker is a Senior Fellow at the Atlantic Council and a Research Associate at the GWU Central Asia Program. He works primarily on social conflict and conflict prevention, from violent extremism and (Islamist and far-right groups) to ethnic and regional conflict.

In this episode, Mike and Noah will pull from their experience in Central Asia. Central Asia has been among the first areas of the world to repatriate women and children from conflict zones and have spearheaded the first attempts at Rehabilitation and Reintegration (R&R). Mike and Noah will discuss successful in-community reintegration and rehabilitation practices for children and adult women and explore the importance of inculcating culturally-relevant and appropriate methods of care to ensure long-term well-being and thus effective reintegration and rehabilitation.
