Dr. Hamilton-Wright | Grant Writing, Conflict Resolution
Kimberly J. Hamilton-Wright earned a Ph.D. in Conflict Analysis and Resolution from Nova Southeastern University. She holds a Master of Public Administration degree from Webster University and a Bachelor of Science degree in Journalism from Kansas State University. Her research interests include military community conflict and peace issues – particularly those pertaining to women, workplace bullying, and personality-driven behavior.
Kimberly developed womenwarography, the tri-fold, collective study of women, war, and humanitarianism, which she introduced in her doctoral dissertation “Womenwarography: A Qualitative Exploration of Women, War, and Humanitarianism in Junction City, Kansas.” Findings from her dissertation revealed that women military veterans and women military spouses weaved uncustomary connections through humanitarian engagement as a method of coping with the stresses of military contexts and impacts of war.
Findings from her MPA thesis entitled “The Potential of Women Veterans Obtaining Success, Progress, and an Exceptional Quality of Life” revealed necessary military culture and policy changes to address the limitations of women veterans. She also authored the research paper “An Exploration of Workplace Bullying Through the Lenses of Group Relations Theory, Bion’s Theory, and The U.S. Air Force Acquisition Leadership Challenge Case Study.”
Kimberly designed the curriculum for Conflict and Peace Connections: Posttraumatic Stress Disorder and Women in U.S. Military Communities (graduate course) and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder: U.S. Domestic and Global Perspectives (undergraduate course). She is a Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI®) Certified Practitioner and a certified grant proposal writer. Kimberly designs and presents conflict resolution and peace seminars. She specializes in helping people work through conflict in professional and personal relationships.
