Dr DB Subedi

DB Subedi is a lecturer in Peace and Conflict Studies in the School of Political Science and International Studies at the University of Queensland. Previously, he worked as a lecturer in political sociology and peace studies at the University of New England in Australia. His current research interest focuses on how authoritarian and illiberal regimes, including populist and nationalist, respond to violent conflicts within their territories and beyond and how these responses have shaped current discourses of post-liberal peacebuilding. One strand of this research focus aims to study how political and religious extremism intersect with social conflicts and what this intersection means for conflict transformation and violence prevention in the age of multiple crises. His research interest has an empirical focus on Asia, especially Sri Lanka, Myanmar, India, Nepal, Indonesia and Bangladesh. Before joining the academia, DB worked with several international organisations specialising in community development, social cohesion and peacebuilding for more than ten years in South and Southeast Asia.
