Mission
Committed to veteran's rights, welfare and justice
The Reimagining Conflict Group addresses the problems of war in the 21st century and has a particular focus on the lived experiences of those affected by war. Members seek to understand experiences of conflict in ways that remain committed to the rights, welfare and justice of their subjects.
Starting from the premise that experiences of conflict require new forms of thinking and analysis, our research adopts innovative and novel narrative, visual and sensual methods to critically engage with war and justice from the margins.
For example, members use cutting edge co-design models and participatory-based approaches to engage with communities who have experienced conflict and post-conflict environments before employing interdisciplinary analytical techniques.
This unique approach will empower communities, effect policy and break new ground in determining issues affecting communities today.
