Jeremy Rinker, Ph.D. is an Assistant Professor at UNCG’s Department of Peace and Conflict Studies where he researches the intersections between narrative, violent conflict, and nonviolent conflict transformation. His work on the Ambedkar-Buddhist social movement in Maharashtra, India is a provocative approach to the connections between justice, narrative and identity. While much of Jeremy’s research has focused on the centrality of justice discourse in religiously based social change movements, Jeremy also has interest in restorative justice, political violence, and conflict intervention practices, as well as, trauma, memory, and reconciliation.
Having previously taught at DePauw University and Guilford College, Jeremy brings a passion for liberal arts education and critical thinking to his teaching and research. Jeremy was a 2013 Fulbright Fellow at the Malaviya Center for Peace Research at Banaras Hindu University in Banaras, India. He also has experience in non-governmental organizations working in international development, humanitarian aid, and restorative justice. Jeremy has served as the Director of a conflict resolution practice clinic on Guilford College’s campus and has extensive training experience in mediation and community conferencing and community dialogue models. Jeremy first began teaching as a Peace Corps volunteer (’95-’97) in Kyzl-orda, Kazakhstan and remains committed to exploring the complex pedagogies and erasures associated with social conflicts over issues of cultural and justice.
