Lia Kent is an Associate Professor and Australian Research Council Future Fellow at the School of Regulation and Global Governance (RegNet), College of Asia and the Pacific at Australian National University. As an interdisciplinary scholar specialized in peace and conflict studies, Lia's research focuses on how communities comprehend the legacies of state violence and protracted conflict. She has conducted extensive ethnographic research in Timor-Leste since 2004 and has recently studied in Aceh (Indonesia) and Sri Lanka. Her interests lie in local practices of social repair as they intersect with state-building and peacebuilding priorities, exploring themes such as peacebuilding, state formation, transitional justice, reconciliation, gender justice, memory politics, and necropolitics. Lia has participated in numerous projects and published various works addressing these critical issues, contributing to our understanding of peacebuilding dynamics and their implications in post-conflict settings.
