• Violence, Peacebuilding and the City – Matariki Meeting

Peace and Conflict Studies have started to take a strong interest in the ways in which dynamics of violence as well as peacebuilding are affecting cities and are processed in urban contexts. In a context of migration and urbanisation, cities around the world have therefore been seen as microcosms of both war and peace. We would like to invite our Matariki partners who take an interest in ‘the urban’ in relation to peace and violence to a network meeting in Durham, 6 September – 7 September 2018.
