Quinn is Associate Professor in the Department of Political Science, Director of the Centre for Transitional Justice and Post-Conflict Reconstruction, and Director of The Africa Institute, at The University of Western Ontario.

Since 1998, Dr. Quinn has been engaged in research that considers the role of acknowledgement in overcoming the causes of conflict, which has the potential to affect real and lasting change. She argues that only when past disputes have been acknowledged, can individuals and their communities begin once again to form relationships with their neighbours and to participate in the social activities and civic structures of society, finally defeating the deep-rooted conflicts which have served to paralyse that society. And it is these networks of civic engagement which will lead to the rebuilding of a sustainable society. She has written widely on the truth commissions in Uganda, Haiti, and elsewhere. Her current research considers the role of traditional practices of acknowledgement and justice in Uganda and in Fiji.
