Topic: Persisting Conflicts and Fragile Peace: Lessons from India and Colombia
Speaker: George Kunnath, London School of Economics and Political Science
Date: November 25 (Tuesday)
Time: 16:00 – 17:30
Venue: Building 5, Room 101-2
Abstract
Drawing on extensive ethnographic research on the Maoist movement in India and the ongoing peace implementation in Colombia involving the FARC guerrillas, in this seminar I discuss persisting armed conflicts and peacebuilding in the Global South. I particularly focus on intersecting inequalities of class, caste, gender and ethnicity in conflict and peace, while also addressing the questions of ethics and positionality that academics and practitioners encounter in the contexts of protracted war and peacebuilding.
