Tom Woodhouse

Professor Woodhouse has worked in the Department of Peace Studies since 1974, when he was appointed as Research Assistant to Professor Adam Curle. He developed the first conflict resolution teaching and research activities in the department during the mid 1980s, and in 1990 he initiated the Centre for Conflict Resolution, serving as the founding director of the Centre between 1990 and 2000. In March 1999 he was appointed to a personal chair and took the title of Professor of Conflict Resolution (Adam Curle Chair). Recent publications include Contemporary Conflict Resolution, Polity Press, (with Oliver Ramsbotham and Hugh Miall). Much of his research is concerned with an examination of the relationship between peacekeeping and conflict resolution. With Oliver Ramsbotham he published the Encyclopedia of International Peacekeeping Operations, ABC/CLIO, Denver/Oxford, 1999, and Peacekeeping and Conflict Resolution, published by Frank Cass in 2001.
