Dr. Amel Aldehaib is a Sudanese Advocate for Peace and Justice. With over two decades of experience in development and peacebuilding across Africa and the Middle East, Amel has dedicated her career to fostering inclusive societies and empowering marginalized communities. Amel’s work spans international development, humanitarian response, research, and policy development, with a particular focus on Sudan, Yemen, and Ethiopia.
In May 2023, Amel co-founded Goodness Radiance, a volunteer-based women-led grassroots organization in Sudan, whose mandate is to empower displaced peoples and host communities through livelihood, health, education, and protection supports. In collaboration with Transnational Feminist Partnerships for Collective Liberation and Dr. Magnolia Pauker, we are currently focusing on enhancing Goodness Radiance’s capacity to effectively deliver its mission to contribute to collective efforts aimed at ending human suffering, atrocities, and genocide in Sudan.
Magnolia Pauker is an undisciplined scholar and theorist, Professor in Studies for Women and Gender at Vancouver Island University and Lecturer in the Faculty of Culture + Community at Emily Carr. Her practice of philosophical journalism engages in interView as a form of relational pedagogy and knowledge making, to ferment critical consciousness, and to ask how we inhabit the histories we inherit. Magnolia is co-editor of InterViews in Performance Philosophy: Crossings and Conversations (Palgrave Macmillan 2017). Current work includes Transnational Feminist Partnerships for Collective Liberation with Dr. Amel Aldehaib of Sudan-based, Goodness Radiance, and a book-project entitled, Philosophy Now! Genealogies of Philosophical Journalism & The Question of the Present (Forthcoming 2026).
