Lehti was part of a panel discussion on “Northern/Eastern Europe and the Return to IR of Geopolitical Anxiety: Ontological Anxieties, Vicarious Identities, Imperial Legacies, and the Post-Colonial Moment”. Moreover, he also organized with Cedric De Coning (NUPI) a roundtable discussing how adaptative peace can offer an alternative to increasingly contested liberal and authoritarian approaches to peacebuilding and global governance.
Féron participated in two different panels. In the first one, entitled “Armed Rebellion, Governance, and Peace Processes”, she had the opportunity to discuss diasporas and conflict transformation in collaboration with Researcher Bahar Baser (Durham University & Stellenbosch University (SIGLA)). The second panel she took part in addressed gender inclusion and the challenges of inclusive peace mediation.
Finally, Lefort presented a paper on “Cooperation, contention and creativity in the urban everyday: Rethinking coexistence”, co-written with Eeva Puumala (Tampere University). It was part of the panel “Everyday Practices for Peacebuilding”, chaired by Roger Mac Ginty, which engaged with the study of the dynamics of coexistence in a variety of local contexts, from Lebanon and Cambodia to Brazil and urban neighborhoods across Europe.
