Researching Conflict in the Humanities: Challenges, Practices and Methods is an interdisciplinary programme of events designed for PhD students and Early Career Researchers in the Arts and Humanities, and studying conflicts from the First World War to the present, regardless of geographical location. This programme seeks to explore the most current academic research approaches in the study of war and conflict in different disciplines. A series of five events, starting in March 2019, will explore methodological issues such as the political bias of the researcher, the most adequate methodologies to study conflict, and the use or potential instrumentalisation, of research for activism. Participants will be encouraged to engage, debate, propose approaches relevant to their disciplines, and test ideas in an open and less formal setting.
Researching Conflict in the Humanities: Challenges, Practices and Methods is a CHASE DTP student-led training programme. CHASE DTP is a consortium bringing together nine leading UK universities engaged in collaborative research activities and providing AHRC studentships and doctoral training partnership.
Researching Conflict is organised by two PhD students from the Courtauld Institute of Art, Ana-Maria Milcic and Erica Payet, out of a desire to expand out of their own field of Art History and learn from other disciplines in the Humanities.
