About the Speaker

Dr. Jenny Peterson

Jenny Peterson joined the department from the Humanitarian & Conflict Response Institute (Manchester) where she worked as a lecturer from 2009-2013. She is broadly interested in the politics of international aid, with her past work analyzing the process of liberal peacebuilding and critiques thereof. Finding much of this critical work homogenizing a diverse range of processes she has recently begun exploring conceptual and empirical deviations from the liberal model. Engaging with debates on pacifism, agonism, resistance, hybridity, and political space she is now exploring diversity and innovation, both local and international, in peace/justice movements. She has conducted research and led student field trips in Kosovo, Sri Lanka, and Ghana. Her teaching interests include peace studies, international relations, humanitarian studies, and human rights.
