The aim of the group is to provide an integrating platform where academic interests and disciplines related to the study of security can be fruitfully brought together. Areas of interest include health security, env

ironmental security, human security, national security, securitization theory, intelligence studies, strategic studies, critical security studies, post-structural approaches to security, terrorism and critical terrorism studies, gender, feminist and queer studies and post-colonial approaches to security. The SRG carries out several activities with the objective of developing a vibrant and broad engagement with the study of security, and welcomes the participation of both students and staff in doing so. The SRG also aims to promote relations with other research groups, research centres, departments and institutions in order to advance multi-disciplinary approaches to the study of security. This year’s SRG events include: a guest lecture series on a variety of topics related to security, informal paper presentations by post-graduate students and members of staff, round-table discussions on theories and methodologies of studying security, and inter-disciplinary workshops.

If you feel the need to get in out of the sun today for a bit, please consider calling in to the wonderful Footprints of Memory exhibition at 1 Laura Place. The exhibition - which finishes today - is a haunting reminder of the human costs of both the failure of states to adequately respond to criminal and political violence, and of the violence perpetuated by the states themselves.

If you're eager to learn a bit more about space strategy and warfare ahead of next week's lecture, have a listen to this interview Dr. Bowen did with the Dead Prussian podcast a few weeks ago - it'll be of particular interest to any Clausewitz fans.
