About the series:
Building on previous collaborations between Bradford's Peace Studies and King's War Studies, not least on the football pitch in competition for the Tolstoy Cup, the War and Peace in Africa seminar series explores our common interests around security, development, peace, and conflict in the African continent. It features expert scholars and guest speakers presenting their latest research and discussing current affairs with a public audience. All our events are free and open to all, with registration required for our online format. The series is co-chaired by Dr David Harris, Director of the John & Elnora Ferguson Centre for African Studies (JEFCAS), and Dr Kieran Mitton, Co-Chair of the Africa Research Group.
