Channel: War Studies KCL
Date: 2021-06-07

This panel reflects on the idea of solidarity in their research. Drawing on feminist foreign policy, risk/threat perception, and art practices that allow anti-identarian practices of ‘being-in-common', we put solidarity at the centre of our conversation with the aim of better understanding what it means and whether it can help us in the project of re-imagining communities in a post pandemic world.
