What strands of debate currently shape peace and conflict research? To what extent does a transdisciplinary approach enable a nuanced and holistic analysis of the processual and relational dimensions of war, conflict and violence? What significance do decolonial and anti-racist perspectives hold in this context? The topicality of these questions has once again gained considerable relevance in recent years.
As part of the event, an introductory presentation followed by a panel discussion will present and critically examine key contemporary discourses in peace and conflict studies. The focus will be particularly on the relationship between local and global dynamics, as well as the interconnection of historical, socio-political, cultural and economic dimensions of war and violent conflict. The focus here will lie on power structures, associated global lines of hierarchy, as well as on discursive frameworks connected to these.
The event offers insights into the theoretical and political debates within Critical Peace Studies and, not least, invites participants to jointly reflect on the relevance of these debates for political and historical-political education and to develop ideas further within this framework.
The event will be held in English. Simultaneous interpretation into German will be provided.
The venue is accessible. An accessible toilet is available.
