Our new LGD Journal Issue is now live.

Increase exposure for your work, research projects, events and ideas by submitting a short article to the LGD blog.

The LGD blog is associated with the LGD journal and Warwick GRP-ID. Its aim is to create a space for reflection and dialogue rather than for strictly academic discussions and engagements. Our concern with inequalities and injustice in the context of globalisation and international development remain the guiding themes. The blog is also intended to generate and sustain dialogue across regions and across political and disciplinary issues.

Submissions should be about 500 words, and may include reflections on experiences in the field (as a researcher or practitioner), events you have organised or attended, ethical and methodological issues as well as emerging political concerns. There are no restrictions on writing style. Innovative presentation is also welcomed including vlogs (in which case 5-15 minutes would be a suitable length).

Examples of topics and issues to be covered on the blog include, but are not limited to: education, health care, refugee crisis and migration, informal economies, neoliberal economics and culture, socioeconomic inequalities and cultural politics and marginalisation in local and global contexts.

Leading on from the constructive engagement of a previous similar event, this workshop will again draw on this breadth and empirical richness to further develop scholarly critique by identifying new research questions and perspectives for a prolonged interdisciplinary engagement among scholars based in Warwick and scholars both nationally and internationally. Recognising the need for a ‘thicker’ version of transitional justice that extends beyond a ‘thin’ legalistic conception of the phenomenon, it will provide an innovative interdisciplinary insight into the challenges that emotions pose for transitional justice processes such as truth recovery, reconciliation initiatives, disarmament, demobilisation & reintegration (DDR) and amnesty processes. Looking at the real world effect of emotions in transitioning societies, this workshop aims to contextualise the matter through fuller evaluation of their role in social, economic and political development that lies beyond the confines of legal processes and the courtroom.
