We warmly invite you to the ‘Peacescapes: Exploring Landscapes of Peace and Peacebuilding” conference to be held on the 22nd of May, 10.00-17.30, at the School of Geography and the Environment. This conference will critically dissect implicit meanings of ‘peace’ and how ‘peace’ is operationalised at a range of social, spatial, and temporal scales. With 14 guest speakers confirmed, this conference will examine interdisciplinary approaches to the study of peace and peacebuilding by focussing on three core intersections: ‘Peace, Space, and Place’, ‘Conflict, Peace, and the City’, and ‘Peacebuilding, Natural Resources, and the Environment’.
Keynote speaker: Professor Oliver Richmond – Professor of International Relations, Peace and Conflict Studies, University of Manchester.
