Dr. Marcia Rosalie Hale is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Peace and Conflict Studies at UNCG, bringing a love of research, teaching and practice to this position.

She seeks to understand complex systems and to support positive peace by addressing injustice and social brutalities, informed by the wisdom: No justice, no peace. Marcia’s research centers around the role that cities can play in global human security.
