Erica S. Lawson

Erica S. Lawson is an Associate Professor in the Department of Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies at the University of Western Ontario. Her teaching and research interests intersect with motherhood studies, maternal grief, critical race studies, black feminist studies, and feminist-informed peacebuilding interventions. With a focus on women’s mass mobilization to end the Liberian civil war (1989-2003), Erica Lawson’s research examines the role of gender construction in war, post-conflict recovery, and women’s multi-pronged activism to build a culture of peace and gender equity. She currently serves as the Project Director for “Commemorating the Experiences of Liberian Women Survivors of Conflict Related Sexual Violence (CRSV.” This is a SSHRC-funded, three-year (2024-2027) Partnership Development Grant (PDG) in collaboration with Liberian partners to document the experiences of women survivors of CRSV and how they envision memorialization towards collective healing
