NIOD REWIND Episode 13 What are the next Big Topics in War and Genocide Research?

War, mass violence and its consequences are not a thing of the past. They are very much present in the world of today and tomorrow. In collaboration with the NIAS, researchers of the NIOD Institute are teaming up with a group of international scholars, in order to develop an innovative and multidisciplinary research agenda in the field of the multiple connections between the topic of ‘war and society’ in the recent past - and in the world of today. In this episode of the podcast Niod Rewind, Anne van Mourik speaks with several of these researchers about this new fellowship program. Why is it so important to investigate the past in light of the present? And how can we connect histories of mass violence with present-day societies? ​ *** The people in this episode: Ismee Tames Sophie de Schaepdrijver Siniša Malešević Avi Sharma Ville Kivimäki ​ This podcast was made with the help of: Bethany Warner and Alex Strete
