Cycle of dialogues on conflicts, violence and peace in the Global South

On August 22, at 5pm, IRI/PUC-Rio through its Global South Unit for Mediation (GSUM) will hold the Dialogue “Knowing war and peace in the Global South”, at the BRICS Policy Center. The meeting will mark the beginning of the Cycle of Dialogues on Conflict, Violence and Peace in the Global South, which will take place between August and November 2024 as part of the GSUM’s 10th anniversary celebrations.

This first meeting will be a round table discussion in which research carried out by GSUM researchers and partner institutions on topics related to violence, conflict and peace will be presented and discussed, as well as those developed by guests Amaya Querejazu (University of Antioquia), Berit Bliesemann de Guevara (Aberystwyth University) and Christine Andrä (University of Groningen). We’ll talk about the possibilities for producing knowledge on these issues from the Global South and the conceptual and concrete challenges that such production poses.
