Biography
Dr. William McInerney will bring his expertise on Violent Masculinities and the use of the arts and peace education interventions to bear on the work of urban peacebuilding. As a research officer at the London School of Economics, he contributes to work there under the Masculinities and Sexualities research theme. This work interrogates the contribution of diverse forms of masculinity and sexuality to conflict dynamics, the new forms of gendered vulnerability around masculinity and sexuality produced in conflict, and the transformation of masculine and sexual identities by conflict. Dr. McInerney will play a crucial role in contributing to the Program on Urban Peacebuilding’s work focused on interrupting violence in the city by both generating novel research and disseminating that research to engage the wider public.
