aftermath of war. His principal research project at the moment is a major study of the UN and the end of the Cold War, a book that covers the immediate post-Cold War period and focuses in particular on the UN's involvement in the mitigation, containment and resolution of civil wars. Recent writings have focused on developments at the UN since the start of the war in Iraq in 2003, NATO at 60, and the political economy of armed conflict. Other research interests include violence in post-conflict societies, the changing character of war, the evolution of NATO, developments in UN peacekeeping and Philip Windsor's contribution to the study of International Relations, in particular his ideas on strategy and war. Sumantra Bose is Professor of International and Comparative Politics at the London School of Economics, whose publications include books on the Kashmir conflict (2003), and international intervention and state-building in BosniaHerzegovina (2002). His most recent book, Contested Lands: Israel-Palestine, Kashmir, Bosnia, Cyprus, and Sri Lanka (2007) is a study of the challenges of making and sustaining peace in the world's most intractable disputes over land and sovereignty. Professor Bose is now working on a major book on contemporary India, focused on social and political transformations in the past two decades and on India's gradual emergence as a global power in the early 21st century. It will be published by Harvard University Press in 2013. Ralf Brand is Lecturer at the Manchester Architecture Research Centre. In his Ph.D. in Community and Regional Planning (University of Texas-Austin) he developed the concept of co-evolutionary dynamics in urban socio-technical assemblages. He employs this angle to investigate contested cities such as Belfast, Beirut, Berlin and Amsterdam. See www.urbanpolarisation.org and www.ralfbrand.com for further information. Ananda Breed is Senior Lecturer at the University of East London. She has facilitated workshops for the UN Special Session for Children, UN Third World Water Forum, and the New York City Hall Forum Theatre and Video Initiative. Ananda has conducted research in Rwanda, Congo, and Burundi. In addition to theatre in relation to conflict, Ananda has codirected a participatory theatre project based on domestic violence in Rwanda which was funded by the Ministry of Justice. She has trained theatre practitioners in participatory theatre methodology for Search for Common Ground in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. She recently facilitated a youth-based project – “Promoting Tolerance and Dialogue Through Interactive Theatre in Eastern Indonesia” – working with artists and educators in four areas of conflict in collaboration with the Center for Civic Education Indonesia (CCEI) and The International Research and Exchanges Board (IREX). Thomas Brudholm is Associate Professor of Minority Research Theory at the University of Copenhagen. His fields of interest include transitional justice, the ethics of reconciliation, and minority-majority relations. Currently, he is combining a study of philosophical concepts of hatred with an exploration of modern and interdisciplinary controversies concerning the nature and significance of hatred in ethnic violence, criminal law and international conflict-resolution. Brudholm is editor and contributor to several books, including The Religious in Responses to Mass Atrocity (Cambridge University Press 2009). In 2008, he published Resentment's Virtue (Temple University Press), arguing the case for the need to take more seriously the significance of the "negative" emotions in post-conflict societies. He has contributed articles to the Journal of Human Rights, Hypatia, Law & Contemporary Problems, and the Hedgehog Review. Chris Coulter is a Researcher and Lecturer at Uppsala University, Sweden and an independent consultant. She has a PhD in Anthropology from Uppsala University where she has specialized on gender, conflict, and post-conflict rehabilitation. Her thematic expertise includes areas such as conflict analysis, humanitarian aid, youth and refugees in war and conflict zones, all with a gender perspective. Issues of femininity, masculinity and violence, as well as the psychosocial effects of war and violence (including the spheres of post-traumatic experiences) is also very much in line with her research. She is author of the book Bush Wives and Girl Soldiers: Women’s Lives through War and Peace in Sierra Leone (2009) and co-author of Young Female Fighters in African Wars: Conflict and its Consequences (2008). Chris has worked mainly in Sierra Leone, but has also carried out several consultancies, assessments, and evaluation assignments on gender issues in Kenya, Zambia, Sudan, Liberia for SIDA and UNICEF. Graham Dawson is a Reader in Cultural History and Director of the Centre for Research in Memory, Narrative and Histories at the University of Brighton. His research has focused on the interrelation of cultural memory, narrative and identity, and the memory of war in modern times. He is author of Soldier Heroes: British Adventure, Empire and the Imagining of Masculinities (Routledge, 1994), and Making Peace with the Past? Memory, Trauma and the Irish Troubles (Manchester University Press, 2007). He is also co-editor of Trauma: Life Stories of Survivors and Commemorating War: The Politics of Memory (both Transaction, 2004); and, with Louise Purbrick and Jim Aulich, of Contested Spaces: Sites, Representations and Histories of Conflict (Palgrave MacMillan, 2007). His current work explores cultural strategies for dealing with the past in post-conflict cultures, particularly in the aftermath of the Irish Troubles. Nigel Eltringham is Senior Lecturer in Anthropology at the University of Sussex. Between 1996 and 1999, Nigel carried out doctoral research among members of the political class in Rwanda and the Rwandan diaspora in Europe. His research explored how these two constituencies accounted for the 1994 genocide and the ways in which they shared epistemological assumptions and representational practices beyond substantive dissension. The results of this research have been published as Accounting for Horror: Post-Genocide Debates in Rwanda (Pluto, 2004). He has, in addition, published on the dilemmas of researching contexts of violence and genocide (in The Ethics of Anthropology Debates and Dilemmas (Routledge, 2003)). Nigel is currently conducting research on the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (Arusha, Tanzania) supported by the Nuffield Foundation and the British Academy.
