Speaker
Professor Vivienne Jabri (King's College, London)
Professor Jabri's talk will be based on her new book Worlds in Conflict: War and the Limits of Politics (MIT Press, 2025). Vivienne Jabri is Professor of International Politics in the Department of War Studies at King’s College London and Principal Investigator of the project, Mapping Injury, an ERC (adv) project funded through the UKRI Horizon Europe Guarantee.
Her research focuses on international political theory, critical social and political theory, postcolonialism, and feminist perspectives, with specific interest in the politics of conflict, violence, security, and justice. She has worked with the arts, developing research and co-curating an exhibition, Traces of War (2016) and, more recently, working on an arts and conflict project, Conflict and Injury: Injurious Acts I and II (2023), funded partly through the Stanley Thomas Johnson Foundation.
About this series
The Westminster (Politics and International Relations) Conversations are a programme of (term-time) monthly events open to all, from new students to members of staff and external attendees.
The format is relaxed and moves away from the formal lecture presentation. Leading academic experts explain in an accessible way the background and context to their argument or analysis as well as presenting their key findings. For example, they might discuss with the audience how they came to the research area, the major ideas and thinkers they work with and the issues at stake in their research. The talk and discussion will be followed by a reception to which everyone is invited.
Please book your place on Eventbrite (via the link above).
