Join us in congratulating Dr Lydia Cole. Lydia alongside Laura Mills from The University of St Andrews has coordinated a special edition of Contemporary Voices: The St Andrews Journal of International Relations called "Unravelling the threads of war and conflict" including an introduction and co-authored article.

Abstract:

This article introduces the Special Issue 'Unravelling the threads of war and conflict'. We offer a careful curation of three threads of conversation generated from the exhibition Threads, war and conflict and its associated programme: 'Reflections on curating, exhibiting and making'; 'Layers of war and conflict: sightings and soundings'; and 'Conversations and collaborations, stories and solidarities'. Beginning from the context of the exhibition, the threads of conversation unravel (across) a variety of intricate sites and intimate experiences of war and conflict.
