Our fourth workshop took place virtually over Zoom in September 2020 and focused on theories and methodologies in the context of "Violence Elsewhere".

The workshop was structured around six core texts and centred on the discussion of theory related to violence and the "elsewhere". The group's conversations revolved around the conceptualisation of the "elsewhere", the conscious and unconscious binarisms of the here/there, us/them, the themes of solidarity and agency, and the relevance of positionality for this research project.
