The Joint Faculties of Humanities and Theology will need to position themselves more strongly regarding issues of defense, war, and conflict. This is necessary both to achieve good and fair representation in LU contexts, nationally and internationally.
The most important way to do this is to participate in and be visible in contexts such as the New LU Centre for Preparedness and Resilience (LUPREP) soon to be established, but the HT faculties must also build their own structure that we can refer to and lean on in contacts with, for example, the armed forces, MSB, etc.
To take a step forward in this important work, we are now launching Humanities in war and conflict as a project to be developed during spring.
Best wishes,
Johannes
