Welcome to KCWA
Kent’s Centre for World Affairs (KCWA) is a new PhD-led initiative within the Human and Social Sciences Division at the University of Kent. Our overall aim though is to be start a conversation across multiple disciplines, even the ones outside of the HSS division.
KCWA is a platform which aims to provide a space for PhD researchers and Post-docs to get their research out into the world.
KCWA uses various channels to disseminate our research and ideas:
- website: hosts sections with longer (e.g. essays and reports) or shorter (blogs and commentaries) forms of writing;
- podcast and other public events;
- social media platforms: including Twitter and Instagram.
Why KCWA?
KCWA aims to provide a space for all topics – from war and conflict, to the global market, to global climate change, from the cells in our bodies and beyond. Through the interdisciplinary nature of KCWA, we want to connect people and disciplines in order to find solutions to current puzzles and problems that need to be looked at from multiple angles.
It is often hard for young researchers to get their work out into the world. KCWA makes this easier.
Need to get your idea out but it is still too early for a journal article?
Need to talk about something in more depth?
We want to provide you with the space to do so through our various outlets.
Call for collaborators
Besides providing a platform for various ideas, we are currently looking for roles to be filled.
We are looking for individuals who are especially interested in
