University of Bath - Global Challenges Teaching Award: Peace and Justice

Peter Manning is a Senior Lecturer in Sociology in the Department of Social and Policy Sciences. His research and teaching explores the connections between human rights, transitional justice, and memory in contexts of violence and atrocities. He is increasingly concerned with the intersections of environmental issues with these issues.

Peter has held a number of UKRI grants as PI and Co-I and in 2023 won an ISRF Mid-Career Fellowship to explore the role (and absence) of questions of ecology in post-atrocity social order.

He is also working on research explores the opportunities and challenges in the delivery of genocide education; network analysis of transitional justice actors and their relationships; and a new book that explores the life trajectories and meaning making practices among ex-combatants after Cambodia's civil war.

Peter is joined by his institutional team: Emily Richards and Marie Salter.
