Political Violence: Perspectives from Law, History and Political Theory
University of Edinburgh - 24 to 26 June 2015
In June 2015 the University of Edinburgh will offer an
interdisciplinary Summer School on Political Violence. This three-day
event will give participants the opportunity to benefit from the
knowledge of an unrivalled panel of international experts in the field
of war and political violence and to receive critical feedback on their
own projects. The programme combines people and perspectives from
History, Law and Political Science and will involve intensive scholarly
discussions and social activities that allow participants to network
with each other in a friendly environment in the scenic, culturally
vibrant setting of the city of Edinburgh. Participants will include a
diverse mix of academics, MA and PhD students from the Social Sciences
and Humanities, and practitioners working in NGOs and legal
institutions.
List of Speakers
- Professor Christine Bell, Law, University of Edinburgh.
- Professor Donald Bloxham, History, University of Edinburgh.
- Professor Elizabeth Frazer, Politics and International Relations, Oxford University.
- Professor John Horne, History, Trinity College Dublin.
- Professor Kimberly Hutchings, Politics and International Relations, Queen Mary, University of London.
- Professor Manfred Nowak, Law, University of Vienna.
The programme will feature morning lectures by expert speakers and
presentations from participants in the afternoon. Our speakers will
attend and comment on the afternoon presentations. The detailed
programme will be published in early 2015. In order to facilitate
productive discussions, the maximum number of participants will be
capped at 25. All participants are expected to share their papers a week
before the Summer School starts.
The tuition fee for the Summer School is £150. This covers
participation in the course as well as coffee and lunch breaks over
three days. Fees must be paid before the start of the Summer School.
Participants will need to organize and finance their own travel
arrangements and accommodation, though there will be a limited number of
places available in University accommodation organised on a first come,
first served basis (single-room @ £40 per night). For a select number
of participants there will be a possibility of a fee-waiver and
financial assistance for accommodation, which will take into account
both academic merit and economic circumstances.
The Summer School is supported by a number of institutions at the University of Edinburgh, including the Global Justice Academy, the Graduate School of Social and Political Sciences, and the Research and Knowledge Exchange Office, College of Humanities and Social Science.
