<p>Dear all, <br>
</p>
<p>The Institute for Interdisciplinary Research on Conflict and
Violence (<b>IKG</b>) hosts the International Conference on
Conflict and Violence Research 2025 at Bielefeld University from
<b>September 17th to September 19th 2025</b> to shed light on
conflict and violence research from an interdisciplinary and
global perspective, especially against the background of climate
change, and invites scholars from all relevant fields to
present, discuss, and exchange ideas. </p>
<p>Climate change not only leads to ecological changes but also
contributes to social conflicts. These can be expressed in
political polarization and normative or non-normative activism,
the spread of fake news, conspiracy myths, hate speech, and the
rise of right-wing populists and extremists denying climate
change. At the same time, climate change is directly or
indirectly linked to wars and violence around the world, thus
affects global health and well-being, and triggers migration
movements which are, in turn, connected with phenomena of
conflict and violence. </p>
<p>Participation and presentation at the conference are open to
researchers from any disciplinary background relevant to
conflict and violence research (e.g., psychology, sociology,
political sciences, public health and health sciences, education
sciences, history, anthropology, economics, environmental
sciences, & legal studies). Scholars at all career stages,
from early-career researchers to established academics, are
encouraged to contribute. The conference seeks to create a
multidisciplinary platform for sharing innovative research,
theoretical advancements, and practical solutions on a wide
range of topics, including but not limited to:</p>
<ul>
<li>Societal and intergroup conflict surrounding climate change,
including resource disputes, policy tensions, and
environmental justice movements.</li>
<li>Political ideology, activism, and violence related to
climate change, focusing on radicalization, polarization, and
protest dynamics.</li>
<li>Global health and well-being as a consequence of climate
change, addressing physical and mental health impacts, health
system challenges, and cross-border health initiatives.</li>
<li>Climate change-induced migration and related phenomena, such
as forced displacement, integration challenges, and the
social, political, and economic impacts on both migrants and
host communities.</li>
<li>The role of media and communication in shaping public
perceptions, attitudes, and behaviors toward climate change
and its associated conflicts.</li>
<li>Interventions, policies, and strategies to mitigate conflict
and violence in the context of climate change adaptation and
resilience-building efforts.</li>
<li>Historical perspectives on environmental crises and their
influence on conflict and societal change, drawing lessons
from the past for the challenges of the present and future. </li>
</ul>
<p>The conference aims to foster a collaborative environment where
researchers can exchange ideas, develop interdisciplinary
collaborations, and contribute to a deeper understanding of the
complex interconnections between climate change, conflict, and
violence. </p>

approx. <b>200 words</b>) by <b>February 15th</b> using this <a
