Professor Hancock teaches courses for Kent State's Center for Applied Conflict Management and the Department of Political Science. He couples his research on ethnicity and identity in conflict generation, dynamics and resolution with an interest in grassroots peacebuilding, zones of peace and the role of agency in the success or failure of peacebuilding efforts.
