Postgraduate Research Symposium & Exhibition / Everyday experiences of conflict: the daily life, legacies & textures of war

I am organising a PGR symposium on conflict and daily life with my colleague, Rosanna O'Keeffe. See call for abstracts and photographs below:

Date: November 6, 2025 

Location: University of Oxford

Call for Abstracts and Photography Deadline: May 30, 2025

We welcome submissions for an interdisciplinary postgraduate symposium that engages with conflict and everyday life. We hope to bring together postgraduate researchers from across the social sciences to understand the multitude of ways in which people live their lives alongside conflict and its legacies. We are exploring experiences of conflict stemming from war, military occupation and the activities of insurgent groups from across the world. We are asking: when and how do legacies and lived realities of conflict become ordinary within the everyday? When and how are they not normalised, but resisted and challenged?
