Research Themes

 

Our School research themes bring together researchers from across the War Studies and Defence Studies Departments to forge partnerships and collaborations around some of the vital issues in the security and defence world. 


 

The Research Themes aim to:

  • make research and activities more accessible to global audiences by highlighting areas our work focuses on and providing opportunities for collaboration and funding.
  • further develop communities of research practice within the School, providing enhanced support and mentoring opportunities for postgraduate students, post-doc and early career researchers. 
  • help to bridge geographical distance between King’s College London campuses and the Shrivenham sites, allowing students and staff in War Studies and Defence Studies to connect more closely.
  • enhance leadership and professional development opportunities for academic staff and students.
