(Un)Civil war colloquium

On 17th and 18th June, the School of English hosted an '(Un)Civil War?', a two-day colloquium that examined conflicts of the 20th and 21st centuries in order to question our perceptions of civility, violence, commemoration and human rights during war and 'peace'.

Plenary speakers included Professor Patricia Rae (Queen's University, Kingston), Professor Sarah Cole (Columbia University, New York), Professor Tim Kendall (University of Exeter), and Professor Sir Hew Strachan (University of St Andrews).

The conference was organised by Dr Peter Mackay, Éadaoín Lynch, Alexa Winik, Rose Harris-Birtill, Rosa Campbell, and Tiana Fischer.
