Dr. Eric Lepp is a Visiting Assistant Professor in Peace and Conflict Studies at Conrad Grebel University College - University of Waterloo (Canada). He received his Ph.D. in Humanitarianism and Conflict Response from the University of Manchester (UK), and completed his MA International Peace Studies at the Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies - University of Notre Dame (USA).
His research explores spaces of contact and the construction of community that includes the ‘other’ in conflict-affected societies. He is particularly interested in the counter-cultural, resistant, and unexpected spaces where peace is being enacted and imagined against a backdrop of division. His work has been published in, or is forthcoming in, Journal of Intervention and Statebuilding, Third World Quarterly, Journal of Peacebuilding and Development, AREA, Journal of Intercultural Studies and Qualitative Research. A number of fellowships and external grants have supported his work, including from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, Humanitarian and Conflict Response Institute and International Centre for Nonviolent Conflict. He was an Honorary Research Fellow at University of Manchester's Humanitarian and Conflict Response Institute Centre (2019-2021), where he previously held a position as Senior Tutor in Humanitarian Studies. He has also held a Curriculum Fellowship (2020-2021) with the International Centre for Nonviolent Conflict in Washington, DC. |
