    Challenges of the ‘War on Terror’: Islamophobia, civil liberties and academic freedom

    May 14, 2015 /

    Institute for Policy Research public event: Monday 8th June 7pm Bath Royal Literary and Scientific Institution, 16 Queen Square, Bath, BA1 2HN The attacks of 9/11 still cast a long shadow over foreign and domestic policy agendas in the UK and many other countries. The impact of the post-2001 military interventions has been more complex and widespread than most anticipated. Instability and conflict in the Middle East, Central Asia, and Africa have been part of the legacy, with the tragedies of Afghanistan, Gaza, Iraq and Syria of particular note. The ‘Global War on Terror’ has also led to sweeping changes to security policies and practices, raising serious concerns about human rights violations and torture, whilst…

    The Boat: An Interactive Graphic Novel

    April 30, 2015 /

    New York-based Australian Matt Huynh has created an interactive graphic novelisation of Nam Le’s award-winning story, The Boat a story about a 16-year-old refugee sent off alone by her parents after the fall of Saigon. The Boat forms part of SBS’s commemoration of 40 years of Vietnamese resettlement in Australia. Matt Huynh​’s parents, like Le’s, fled Vietnam after the war. Matt said he wanted his adaptation to ‘create an entry point into the conversation about refugees and asylum seekers today’. ‘When I talk casually to friends and younger people about these issues, I notice a reticence to enter the debate. I feel they’re afraid to enter into the issue because…

    The Lonely Soldier Monologues

    April 30, 2015 /

    The Lonely Soldier Monologues is a play that hears from 7 women who served in the US Armed forces in Iraq and Afghanistan.  It exposes some “shocking truths” about war and asks questions about the military, our society and our western culture. “But coming home was hard. It’s like you’re a ghost. Like you died and you’re coming back to life and you’ve got to weasel your way back in because everyone had to adjust without you.” The play explores why the women enlisted, what they endured and how it affected them when they came home. The women, who fought in the war between 2003 and 2006, personify the situation of women…
