Professor Joanna Bourke, Professor Emerita of History at Birkbeck, University of London, Fellow of the British Academy and OBE, brings extensive scholarship on violence, gender and emotion.
This keynote examines histories of fear and anxiety and their role in the militarization of long-term conflicts, focusing on wound nationalism, Christian evangelical politics, and the sexualization and racialization of psychic life. Bourke explores performative and affective dimensions of institutional and interpersonal attachments and concludes with reflections on the politics of radical justice.
