This research seminar will survey a variety of theoretical, methodological, and disciplinary approaches to the study of the intersections of medicine, science, and technology with war and conflict, as well as struggles for liberation and resistance. Each session will highlight work by a scholar (or more) representing a discipline or interdiscipline to showcase the ways in which academics and scholars have approached these themes. From anthropologists to historians and from scholars of gender studies to scholars of urban studies, the research seminar will invite guest speakers to discuss their work with students and explore the opportunities afforded by their methods of inquiry and the challenges they pose. Students will be guided throughout the seminar as they develop a research project: from the choice of topic to the development of a research question to the choice of sources, methods, and format, and, finally, as they pursue their research on their chosen topic.
