Here a video of yesterday’s fascinating @VisualPolUQ discussion between Gillian Whitlock & @zhila_gholami on archival research about refugees. Chaired by @cormacticon, topics include Gillian's new @BloomsburyAcad book and Zhila’s Fryer Collection project.

Shameless shout out for sponsorship as I complete the Great North Run once again. Or at least I try to. Slowly.

Thanks @Researchirel for the New Foundations grant. @SalimSaay @UL and me @DCU_Research are collaborating on the DiSSENT project and held an expert panel @mict_intl in Berlin in March to discuss digital security for journalists working in exile. Watch this space for more soon.

Here a video of our latest @VisualPolUQ event: @EmilyFaux3 from @UniofNewcastle discusses her Ph.D. research, focusing on collage as a research method to understand nuclear weapons and war. Thanks very much, Emily, for your talk and for visiting us at UQ. https://t.co/YEcM8uMc1U

Academia is a space for creativity, discovery, passion, and pretending to know what ontological means

@SaumavaM @DCU_SoC @DCU_Research @OsloMet Sounds like a wonderful conference. Sad not to be there

[Post-Conflict Research Center (PCRC) @PCRCBiH]

It is with great sadness that we received the news of the passing of Dr. ​​Paul Lowe - a great soul, an amazing friend, and an incredible artist and photographer.​ ​Paul's work is an everlasting inspiration to us all and it was an honor and privilege to work alongside him for close to two decades, and have him as one of the founding members of our Advisory Board. ​His contribution to preserving the memory of the Siege of Sarajevo and the war in Bosnia is immeasurable and ​will be missed immensely.​

Dear Paul: Thank you for the support, knowledge, and friendship. Our center and our country will never forget you. You will forever stay in our work, art and thoughts. May you rest in peace and power.​

Our team ​sends its deepest condolences to the Lowe and Abadžić families​.
