Peace and Conflict Studies

Our staff are internationally recognised scholars conducting cutting-edge research in Peace and Conflict Studies (PACS), with a particular focus on Australia and the Asia-Pacific region. Our team comprises interdisciplinary scholars who explore a broad range of critical topics in PACS, including Indigenous and feminist perspectives of conflict and peace; peacebuilding; development and conflict; humanitarianism and conflict prevention; mediation, negotiation and conflict resolution; inclusive peace and security; media representations of war and peace; atrocity prevention and civilian protection; and nonviolent social change, for example. Our researchers actively engage in fieldwork and collaborate with both scholars and practitioners for meaningful impact.
