Researching Conflict: Methods and Ethics, University of Manchester, April 18 2013.
Call for Contributions from Doctoral Students and Early Career Researchers
This workshop foregrounds methodological and ethical issues involved in researching instances of observable, ongoing conflict and post conflict situations, which may include the asylum system, some forms of crisis response, environmental conflict, urban violence, and artistic and cultural responses to violent conflict, among other topics.
The workshop features two plenaries, by Professor Hilary Footitt (University of Reading) and Professor Paul Gready (University of York), and a concluding roundtable with participants from the Humanitarian and Conflict Response Institute, the School of Environment and Development and the School of Arts, Languages and Cultures. It also features two panels of presentations by doctoral students and early career researchers. Abstracts are invited from researchers working on themes related to observable, violent conflict and/or post conflict situations, with a focus on methodological issues and ethical implications.
