This week we will be looking at the contribution of Feminist Criminology. The basic premise of feminist criminology is that traditional criminological perspectives are Androcentric in nature. Androcentrism: Androcentrism is the practice, conscious or otherwise, of placing a masculine point of view at the center of one's worldview, culture, and hist…

"...For criminology more specifically, its canon is as Western, white and male as any other social science discipline (Aas 2012; Bosworth and Hoyle 2011; Lee and Laidler 2013). The Westerncentrism of criminology is reflected in the fact that the most frequently cited criminologists are overwhelmingly white men from the USA and the UK (Cohn et al. 2…

The war in Ukraine is an ‘axial event’ in twenty-first century history, in which the agency of Ukrainians will have, one way or another, a tremendous impact on the future of global security.

In slightly more than a decade of independence, South Sudan has endured civil war and a shaky peace agreement that leaves over 11 million South Sudanese yearning for the a less violent future. Devastating war in neighboring northern Sudan once again underscores Juba’s acute dependence on revenue from oil exports, which have similarly been captured …

Episode 5: The future of the campus 30:13

Traditionally, universities have used their physical and cultural presence to give students the chance to create communities and gain life experiences. But, with the great online pivot, how important is the campus? As we move forward, universities will have to balance a range of issues such as widening access to quality education, preparing student…

The most significant impact of the pandemic on higher education is the shift to online learning and teaching, but as staff and students can, hopefully, move back to campuses, should we retain an element of the online experience? Will blended learning - combining online materials with the traditional classroom experience - become the new normal? Wha…

Episode 3: Equity and Inclusion 23:56

When we talk about equity and inclusion in higher education in the context of online learning, most people will think of the digital divide – that’s the gap between those who have the ability and resources to access online content and those who do not. Digital technology also has a role to play in providing access to higher education for people who…

S2 Ep5: The logics of conflict in the DRC: from the mineral to the checkpoint economy 49:06

3+ y ago49:06

49:06

Conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has long been associated with mineral wealth. Indeed, the country is hugely rich in natural resources - and this has played an important incentivising role in the conflicts seen over the last three decades. But this is by no means the whole picture. And a one-sided focus on minerals alone can lose …

S2 Ep4: Decolonising conflict research in the Global South: reflections and dialogues 34:49

3+ y ago34:49

34:49

Conflict research as a subject area has often been prone to colonial mindsets and thinking. In a world in which power disparities between wealthy states and the former colonial world remain very large - indeed, often huge - there are significant structural imbalances of power between the the North and South. These are reflected in the resources ava…

54:26

Syria is often seen as a tragic case of "non-intervention". One of several examples of where the international community failed to protect civilians from violence and atrocities. But, while there is an element of truth in this view, it also begs many other difficult questions about the rights and wrongs of intervention in societies dealing with int…

Universities work by sharing knowledge and people across borders - it's essential for research. But the nature of the global economy means that universities in higher income countries are the ones with the money and therefore the power. So will we ever be able to make international collaboration truly collaborative? Our guests in this final episode…

4y ago52:56

52:56

It can be hard not to get lost in the horror when studying societies experiencing violent conflict. And it can easily lead to the conclusion that 'nothing can be done'. Our findings on the Conflict Research Programme challenge this assessment by uncovering the presence of civic minded groups and individuals pushing for alternatives to exclusionary …

36:11

State violence and repression can be a particular problem in conflict and post-conflict societies. Constructing democratic and legitimate public authority is vital to overcome this. This means ensuring that the state is not a vehicle for rentier interest groups. And that the unique right to legitimately use force it enjoys is subject to democratic …

S1 Ep4: Opportunities for peace and democracy: civicness in conflict societies 58:32

4y ago58:32

58:32

In conflict and post-conflict situations it can be easy to get lost in the horror faced by many people in these societies. But we should be wary of this tendency - because it can blind us to the opportunities for change. The belief that ‘nothing good’ occurs in conflict regions is typical of a Western-centric bias and a rather 'top down' model of i…

54:52

It is commonplace to see inter-communal, religious or ethnic conflict as an important factor in war ravaged countries. But the discussion of these features are often crude and one-sided. Tribal, clan or religious based identities, for example, are frequently cast as the only significant factor. To overcome this, the Conflict Research Programme inve…

Countries experiencing intractable conflict often exhibit high levels of corruption. Politics becomes a question of buying and selling support amongst interest groups, not serving the public interest. And violence can be used as a negotiating tactic to access more resources in the market. In this podcast, we introduce the idea of the political mark…
