Training School on Critical Methods for Security Studies

The training school will develop a methodological discussion and training with critical security studies. Focusing on what methods can bridge the existing gap between theoretical innovation and empirical research, critical research and critical methodology will be considered in conjunction, as mutually dependent rather than as isolated entities.

The training school will take place in March 2011 and further details will be posted here in due course.
