This event will see researchers examine a wide range of contemporary issues around the study of war. What theoretical and methodological tools can we mobilise in the fog of war? How has war, and the study of war, been transformed? What are the ethical and legal implications? And what is the answer to militarism?
Showcasing the breadth of the International Relations and Ethics research theme, the speakers will seek to provide an answer through the lenses of international law, ethics, feminist foreign policy, critical security studies, postcolonial theory, art and science and technology studies.
About the panel

Our interdisciplinary lenses span feminism, postcolonialism, critical security studies, art, international law, ethics and sociology to shed critical light on continuity and change in the study of war and conflict.
