This workshop aims to bring together scholars and practitioners interested in exploring the visuality of peace in all its historical and contemporaneous manifestations, including UNSDG16.
Since Middlesex University signed the UNSDG accord in 2021, research and education have created a joint front towards embedding the UNSDGs into our University’s curriculum design. Our Learning Framework firmly recognises this development, as one of its core principles. This workshop, funded by the International Visual Sociology Association (IVSA) 40 Year Anniversary project, aims to create a space for discussion, debate and creative engagement with UNSDG16: Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions.
The Learning & Teaching Directorate in collaboration with the University’s Sustainable Development Research Cluster (SDRC) present a workshop, aiming to bring together educators, scholars and practitioners interested in exploring the visuality of UNSDG16 in both its historical and contemporaneous manifestations. Why ‘visual education’? By comparison to war’s rich visual lexicon, the notions of peace and global justice remain less visible and tangible. And this workshop aspires to redress this lacuna by sharing existing good practices and creating new ones.
The workshop will showcase new research on peace and visual culture, followed by the design of educational resources and screenings of relevant films and documentaries.
