View all →About This Event
Joining this event at Friends House in London on September 17th at 10 AM, attendees can expect a thought-provoking discussion about the intersections of money, power, and violence through various speakers exploring topics ranging from war and debt to everyday life and global economic systems. Admission is free.
Join us for a conference exploring the links between money, power, and violence across war, debt, everyday life and global economic systems.
This conference brings together scholars from across the social sciences to interrogate how monetary forms, institutions and imaginaries are implicated (or not) in various forms of violence including rotting, coercion, harm, and conflict. Relations between money and violence span war, debt/credit, everyday life, illicit and shadow economies, colonial and postcolonialisms, and the monetization of risk, punishment, and survival.
The conference invites empirically grounded and theoretically informed papers that engage with money and violence across different geographical and historical contexts, including but not limited to warfare, policing, borders, development, financial markets, humanitarianism, and household economies. By fostering dialogue across anthropology, sociology, political science, human geography, heterodox economics and related fields, the conference aims to chart the different ways in which money and violence are brought together empirically and analytically, what new relations are emerging and what can be learnt through historical contextualisation and geographical comparison?
If you would like to present a paper, please send a short (max. 200 word) abstract to Dr Christopher Harker and Dr Sebastian Paredes Smith (Christopher.harker@ucl.ac.uk, sebastian.smith.18@ucl.ac.uk) by 5pm on 28th May
We also encourage attendance without presenting. The event is *free*, but attendance is limited so please register for the event here.
Travel support for PhDs and ECRs is available - please contact Dr Christopher Harker and Dr Sebastian Paredes Smith (Christopher.harker@ucl.ac.uk, sebastian.smith.18@ucl.ac.uk).
This event will be the capstone for the research project Transforming Financial Inclusion to Finance Inclusive Prosperity In Ramallah Palestine (ESRC ES/W006863/1).
