Each Tuesday, the Conflict, Security, and Development Series will examine new research, discuss creative policy approaches, and highlight recent innovations in responding to the challenges of security and development in conflict and post-conflict situations.

Omar Dahi, Political Economist at Hampshire College, will discuss efforts to build a network of scholars committed to advancing non-Western perspectives on Security Studies through the establishment Critical Security Studies Working Group of the Arab Council on the Social Sciences based in Beirut.

Founded in 2017, the working group (also known as the Beirut School of Critical Security Studies) seeks to critique Eurocentric approaches to security as well as provide alternatives grounded in the lived experience of scholars and activists in the region.
