International collaboration

The Centre for the Study of Violence has developed links with research leaders and institutions in the field, positioning the University of Newcastle as an international hub for the study of violence in an historical context.

Below are some the centres with which we collaborate with on fieldwork, meetings and conference organisation.

The Centre for War Studies, University College Dublin

The Centre for War Studies promotes a wide range of international research activities focused on the origins, nature, and consequences of all war-related violence from ancient times to the present day.

The History of Violence Network, University of Warwick

The Warwick History of Violence Network provides a focus for all areas of research into personal, social, political, and cultural violence. This includes but is not limited to interpersonal violence comprising lethal violence (murder and manslaughter), non-lethal violence (assault and rape), and consensual violence; collective violence (carnival, charivari, and massacres); individual and group political violence (riots, strikes, terrorism and revolution); and state violence against the individual (execution, punishment, terror). The Network also investigates cultural polemics and violence. In addition, it ignores the traditional differentiation of war from violence.

Centre for Studies in Violence, Memory, and Trauma (CSVMT), University of Delhi

The Centre is an inter-disciplinary and builds on current faculty research strengths and interests as well as reaches out to colleagues across South Asia and internationally. Members of the English Department teach, research, and have publications in areas ranging from memories of Partition to Dalit literature to gender studies to representations of war and much else related to the Centre’s focus.
