Angela Bermudez is the principal investigator of the Center for Applied Ethics in Deusto University (Bilbao, Spain). She chairs the research group on Conflicts and Cultures of Peace. Her current research investigates how history education in formal and informal settings contributes to foster or hinder a critical understanding of violence, and hence, to peace building. She obtained her doctorate from the Harvard Graduate School of Education in 2008 where she investigated youth engagement in the discussion of social and political controversies. Prior to that she worked in Colombia, where she was born and raised, developing curriculum guidelines and teaching resources, training teachers, teaching youth, and doing research in the fields of democracy, moral and social studies education. Throughout the years she has been a consultant to various institutions such as the national Ministry of Education of Colombia, the Secretary of Education of Bogotá, the Organization of American States (OAS), and the Organization of Iberoamerican States (OEI), and the Colombian Institute for the Promotion of Higher Education (ICFES).
