The sustainability crisis is no longer solely an issue for the STEM-field – and probably never was. In the last decades, it has become increasingly obvious that central challenges fall under the purview of SSH research. Notably how it is possible that highly exigent information for which overwhelming evidence exists does not make an immediate and strong impact on ideologies, policies, and life practices across the globe, as well as what can be done about it.
Dates and time: 17-21 June 2024 from 9:00 to 16:00
Registration deadline: 1 May 2024

On 29-31 October 2024 PRIO will host the PhD-level course Culture, Conflict and Politics: Introduction to interpretive theory and methodology.
Do you want to know more about the cultural aspects of violent conflict and peaceful coexistence? Are you interested in finding answers to questions like: What does it mean when we talk about a culture of peace or a culture of violence? How do artists use theatre, poetry or visual arts in their struggles for social justice? Why do opposition groups use religious rituals to delegitimize authoritarian leaders? In this research course we explore the importance of language, history, memory, beliefs and creative expressions for political dynamics and contestations.
Culture, Conflict and Politics is a course where we explore both the application and theoretical foundations of interpretive research, the science of understanding, non-essentialist approaches to culture and cocreational research practices.
The course is organized partly as an interactive seminar and partly as a research design workshop. We introduce and discuss a variety of interrelated topics, such as: the use of culture in politics and violent conflict; religion, beliefs and political contestations; and cultural and geopolitical aspects of soft power politics.
Culture Conflict and Politics is a PhD level research course. Preference will be given to applicants who are currently registered for a PhD or have concrete plans for pursuing a PhD.
The deadline for application is 31 May 2024.
