Talking at the Vienna International Center (#UNO) 😎
I was asked to present the book Critical Peace Studies at the NGO Committee on Peace.
Thank dear @peterhaider_weltfriede for the invitation! It was an inspiring moment.
Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Hofkirchner hat für das Institute for a Global Sustainable Information Society (GSIS) mein/unser Buch rezensiert und auf die Instituts-Website gepostet!
Demnächst folg seine deutsche Rezension für ein Fachmagazin! Dafür bin ich ihm sehr dankbar. Die Aufmerksamkeit freut und ehrt mich sehr.

Just for fun, have a look in your daily newspaper to see if Galtung's death has been mentioned there. If not, please think about whether you think it would be worth continuing your subscription…

„How can research on topics surrounding radicalization, extremism, and terrorism be safe and socially sustainable?
Research on extremism and related phenomena such as radicalization or terrorism is emotionally demanding and can even become dangerous, in part because it frequently means engaging with intense, and at times violent, societal conflict. The (…) Israel-Palestine conflict is a … example of this.“

War and conflict have been foremost in our attention of late, and for good reasons familiar to anyone who has been following the news over the past year or so. For a deeper reflection, I would suggest reading, as a starting point, a couple of Johan Galtung's classic contributions. I always find his work to be informative, insightful and creative. It inspired me when I first encountered one of his papers on development and technology, which I read by chance whilst still a secondary school student. His writings continue to inspire me today.
So, to begin, I recommend reading
Galtung, Johan. "Violence, peace, and peace research." Journal of peace research 6.3 (1969): 167-191.
He later extended this analysis in
Galtung, Johan. "Cultural violence." Journal of peace research 27.3 (1990): 291-305.
There's much more to read, of course, but I think the above are a suitable beginning.

Fascinating insights today from Professor Peter R. Schreiner, associate fellow at @PRIF and member of CNTR!
Thanks for discussing your work and how to bring the #NaturalSciences and #PeaceResearch closer together. We are looking forward to our future collaboration!

Do #disasters create #peace?
Typically no, according to our work on #DisasterDiplomacy http://www.disasterdiplomacy.org
See especially the two books http://www.routledge.com/books/details/9780415679930 and https://doi.org/10.1163/9789004316140

Cool! Just to put everyone in a single toot, here are the PeaceResearchers known on the Fediverse so far:
@seanfobbe @markscogan @Prof_BearB @dorotheegoetze @PeaceJournalism
Disclaimer: I haven't done any peer-reviewed #PeaceResearch myself. However, I have opened up a space for people interested in coordinating wiki-encyclopedic [1] coverage of peace research [2] - ordinary people generally don't want to read research articles. #OpenScience
[1] aka Wikipedia
[2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User%3aBoud/Draft%3aWikiProject_Peace
Seems like an important journal for #PeaceResearch . Currently #RedLinked on en- #Wikipedia [1]. Wikipedians - find good sources and create/edit!
[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Journal_for_Peace_and_Nuclear_Disarmament
@seanfobbe If you click on #PeaceResearch or #PeaceResearchers you'll see that there are, so far, extremely tiny lists of toots with these hashtags - but at least they're started now.
Try Mastodon they said... So, here I am, #historian working on the #earlymodern period and historical #peaceresearch, especially in the Baltic Sea region and the Holy Roman Empire, with a particular soft spot for Imperial Diets and constitutional history. #introduction
That highlights another caveat in the raw number of violations: they are not neatly attributed to either side in a way easy to extract automatically from the pdfs. A human who knows the geography and can follow the SMM's notes could probably classify and attribute the violations, but if it took 1/2 hour per report, then that would still require about 1000 hours of manual analysis to do.
An answer would need:
(1a) better parsing of a few thousand OSCE SMM pdf files (diverse formats) + thorough manual checking; or
(1b) convince OSCE SMM people to publish machine readable (e.g. csv) data; or
(1c) manually (human eye+brain) extract the data;
+
(2) get systematic #OpenData on weapons shipments
+
* (ideally) choose a non-parametric statistical method of analysis
