Over the course of Hilary Term 2018, the Department of Politics and International Relations will continue last year’s successful Ideas and Political Violence (IPV) seminars, with seven planned talks held on Thursdays at 4pm, in Lecture Room 6 at New College. We have an exciting line-up of speakers and welcome interested attendees from across the university. The relationship between ideas and political violence is a key interdisciplinary interest of modern academia, and this seminar series will seek to capitalise on the expanding wave of new scholarship, bringing this into the DPIR’s research community and adding momentum to it by providing a forum for discussion between academic staff, graduate students, and visiting speakers on cutting-edge research work.
