The podcast “Vienna Dialogues: Coffee and IR” has published a new podcast episode about the research of the Creating Safer Space network. In the episode, host Markus Pollak is joined by Professor Xymena Kurowska to speak with network lead Professor Berit Bliesemann de Guevara about unarmed community self-protection amidst violent conflict.
The conversation opens with a discussion of conducting international relations field research in conflict and war-affected settings. At the core of the episode is the “Creating Safer Space” project. It explores questions of (unarmed) civilian protection, as well as the project’s broader contributions to debates in peace and conflict research and beyond academia.
“Vienna Dialogues: Coffee and IR” is a student-run podcast hosted at Central European University (CEU).
