The War and Peace TORCH Critical Thinking Community in collaboration with the Oxford Transnational and Global History Seminar host a conversation with Yasmin Khan and Santanu Das on perspectives on war and peace from the Global South.

The TORCH-funded Critical Thinking Community 'War and Peace: Twentieth-Century Responses from the Global South' was started in Spring 2023, bringing together a small community interested in foregrounding a serious and sophisticated critique of war through interdisciplianry conversations within the humanities. We revisited twentieth-century responses to the increasing civilianization of military conflict from the Global South and from various perspectives from above and below.

TGHS, or the Oxford Transnational and Global History Seminar, is the oldest student-led history forum at the University of Oxford. The seminar seeks to expand and challenge perspectives in transnational and global history.
