About Us

‘Visualising Peace’ is a Vertically Integrated Project directed by Dr Alice König. We are a cross-disciplinary team of students, working together to expand the scope of the Visualising War project by investigating conceptualizations of peace across different academic disciplines and broader domains of human activity. Our aim is to research, challenge and stretch habits of imagining, understanding, representing and working towards peace.
