Soldiers, Citizens and Security: an exploratory workshop September 8th 2008 1-11 Hawley Crescent, London NW1 10.30am-3.30pm

The aim of this workshop is to explore the political and intellectual terrain currently emerging at the intersection of three nodes of inquiry: citizenship, the military and security. This initial workshop will explore potential overlap and common themes among these important areas, looking for ways to extend existing discussions and develop fresh perspectives within a multi-disciplinary context.
