6 – 8 March 2020
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
The British Academy and the Brazilian Academy of Sciences are inviting applications for early career researchers in the humanities and social sciences from Brazil and the United Kingdom to attend a research collaboration symposium on the broad theme of ‘Urban Violence’. The symposium aims to incentivise and establish international engagement and collaboration between early career researchers from a broad range of disciplines within the humanities and social sciences, encouraging the exchange of ideas across both disciplinary and national boundaries.
Purpose and Focus
Cities are economic centres and seats of power that produce dense conglomerations of people, characterised by proximity, mixing and intense relationships but also by forms of social and spatial segregation. They therefore offer a unique opportunity to examine and study various contestations, how they are expressed and how they might be counteracted.
This symposium will explore how the urban across space and time has produced or affected violence, and how violence – and its effects – can shape cities and the experiences of those who inhabit them. It will discuss how disputes over and interpretations of history, heritage, culture and / or power can drive and mitigate urban violence, how violence finds expression in or threatens art, and how history, heritage and the arts can be harnessed to counteract or propel the effects of violence. It will also address the multilayered nature of urban violence, ranging from domestic violence through femicide to the private and public violence of criminals, paramilitaries, police and soldiers, the construction of hierarchies of violence, the interplay between different forms of violence, and the role of social movements, grassroots organisations and other actors seeking to reduce violence and promote accountability.
The Symposium
The symposium will take place in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, from Friday 6 to Sunday 8 March 2020. The costs of travel, visas and accommodation for participants will be covered by the organisers.
Application Process
Applicants should provide:
• A CV which should not exceed two pages;
• A completed application form
The deadline for submissions is Wednesday 23 October 2019 at 17.00 (UK time).
