Doris Aja-Eke

Dr Doris Aja-Eke is the Principal Mediator and ADR Specialist at Duna ADR — a practitioner and academic who brings rare depth to complex, high-stakes disputes. Her work spans political, governmental, international, and governance contexts, informed by years of rigorous scholarship and hands-on engagement with the structures that shape conflict and resolution at the highest levels. She is also an Assistant Professor at University College Dublin, where her teaching and research sit at the intersection of international politics, law, diplomacy, and governance. This academic foundation does not merely complement her practice — it sharpens it, equipping her to navigate the legal, political, and relational dimensions of disputes that other practitioners may find opaque. Her expertise spans governance and corruption, foreign aid, conflict, development, international organisations, and wider fields of politics and international relations. Dr Doris Aja-Eke has worked with both academic and non-academic institutions across Africa, Europe, and the US, such as the United Nations, World Health Organization, and Political Parties. It is this breadth, precise where precision matters, and strategic where strategy demands, that defines the Duna ADR approach to mediation, arbitration and dispute resolution. More details can be found on her qualification page and website.
