Conflict, War and Violence
Humanity’s history and present is rife with conflict, ranging from simple disagreements to various forms of violence visited on others or on other groups, to forms of organised violence waged by state-based armed forces.
This research group brings together different academic perspectives, analytical vocabularies and methods, ranging from history to political and social science, from area studies to peace studies, from art to law, in order to understand conflicts, wars, and violence in their various spatial, temporal and cultural contexts. This is essential if we are to understand their origins, trajectories, dynamics, end points, and their consequences on levels ranging from the personal to the global.
