Queer Conflict Research: New Approaches to the Study of Political Violence
Dr Jamie J. Hagen, Dr Samuel Ritholtz and Dr Andrew Delatolla
Bringing together a team of international scholars, this volume provides a foundational guide to queer methodologies in the study of political violence and conflict. Contributors provide illuminating discussions on why queer approaches are important, what they entail and how to utilise a queer approach to political violence and conflict.
The chapters explore a variety of methodological approaches, including fieldwork, interviews, cultural analysis and archival research. They also engage with broader academic debates, such as how to work with research partners in an ethical manner.
Including valuable case studies from around the world, the book demonstrates how these methods can be used in practice. It is the first critical, in-depth discussion on queer methods and methodologies for research on political violence and conflict.
The book was launched on 19 February 2024 in collaboration with the Department of Politics and International Relations, University of Oxford. The event included a panel discussion with the book’s editors: Samuel Ritholtz (University of Oxford), Jamie J. Hagen (Queen’s University Belfast), and Andrew Delatolla (University of Leeds).
