We're excited to share details for our second Conversation on Disappearance, taking place on January 27! This session will be focused on cultural responses to disappearance. Further information and registration available here: bristoluniversitypress.co.uk/journals/jou...

An excellent and thoughtful piece by @yguichaoua.bsky.social and @wlacher.bsky.social, well worth reading for those of us who have been wondering where the future of peace and conflict research, and more importantly, teaching, lies.
