Day 3 of our workshop on digital humanities and visualisation methods in peace and conflict research: Today's afternoon program focuses on how the visual storytelling method can be used to outline proposals for the visualisation of case studies in the #KonKoop Atlas of Peace and Conflict Cartography.

Mit einer Einführung durch #IfL-Direktorin Judith Miggelbrink ist heute der 31/2-tägige Methodenworkshop zu #DigitalHumanities und #Visualisierungsmethoden in der Friedens- und Konfliktforschung gestartet. Er findet in Zusammenarbeit mit dem im #KonKoop-Projekt [https://konkoop.de/] eingerichteten Daten- und Visualisierungslaboren statt. Im Mittelpunkt stehen die Themen Multiperspectivity & Positionality, Ethics & Sensitive Data und Complexity & Uncertainty in Data Analysis/Visualisation.

OUT NOW: #KonKoop's new In:Security report investigates how #Latvia, #Moldova and #Ukraine have decoupled their #energy systems from Russia’s over the last few years. Long-held beliefs about energy-generated peace have lost validity, the report shows. Western Europe can learn from Central and Eastern European states and adopt energy policies that account for ‘ordinary’ consumers' and businesses' perceptions.
