The #WarEffects project workshop is underway. We’ve brought together 20 scholars studying different aspects of civil wars, violence, and/or gender.
We are very happy to share that three young scholars will join the workshop: Yajna Sanghuan, Hüsne Akgöl and Francisca Castro @fcastrog.bsky.social! They work on gendered legacies of violence in Northern Sri Lanka, Algeria, and Peru.
The #WarEffects team is looking forward to our kick-off workshop. We’ll host about 20 scholars between October 9-11 to discuss recent advances in research on war and gender.
