The Centre for International Education is delighted to share a new Political Economy of Education Research (PEER) Network article in University World News that highlights a Special Issue of the journal Globalisation, Societies and Education on:

“Supporting and learning from universities in times of conflict: Towards resilience and resistance in higher education.”

The 24‑article Special Issue grew out of the “Towards resilience and resistance in higher education” conference hosted by the Political Economy of Education Research (PEER) Network at the University of Sussex. It was co‑edited by CIE researchers Birgul Kutan and Mario Novelli, with colleagues from Birzeit University (Palestine), the University of Rojava (Autonomous Administration Area of Northeast Syria) and Nelson Mandela University (South Africa), and brings together contributions from more than 40 scholars working in contexts of conflict and exile, as well as transnational academic and solidarity networks.

Both the process and the publication are intended as acts of solidarity with universities, academics and students living and working in times of conflict – many of which have worsened since this work began.
