Susan Michelle Thomson (born 1968[1]) is a Canadian human rights lawyer and professor of peace and conflict studies at Colgate University.[2][3] She worked in Rwanda for years in various capacities and is known for her books focusing on the post-genocide history of the country, which have received good reviews. Although she initially supported the ruling Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF), Thomson later reevaluated her position.
Her critical scholarship led her to be declared persona non grata in Rwanda in 2007.[2]
