About us
Conflict, Peace, and Security is an interdisciplinary research group of critical researchers based in the School of Geography, Politics, and Sociology (GPS).
Our work engages with the broadly defined fields of conflict, peace, and security, examining these issues across diverse regions, including Latin America, the Middle East, Europe, and Southeast Asia. We focus on both local and global dynamics, their entanglements, and historical legacies.
We also explore peacekeeping and peacebuilding in conflict-affected societies, alongside the impacts of insecurity and efforts to mitigate it across diverse global contexts.
Our impactful research shapes debates and informs policy, producing robust data and relevant theories in a range of areas including:
- Abolitionism
- Borders
- Counterinsurgency
- Crime
- Criminal Tribunals
- Drugs
- Ecological/environment Impacts
- Genocide
- Healthcare in Warzones
- Human Rights
- International Humanitarian Law
- Migration
- Occupation
- Peace Agreements
- Peacebuilding
- Policing
- Post-conflict Zones
- Prisons
- Public Health Impacts
- Radicalisation
- Research Method Innovation
- Social In/justices
- Surveillance
- Terror/Terrorism
We welcome any colleagues, including PGRs, working in these and other related areas to join us. Please contact Karenza.moore@newcastle.ac.uk for more information.
