Second World War Network

Description

The Network is the result of a Royal Society of Edinburgh (RSE) Arts and Humanities Research Network Award (which ran from 2021-23). In advance of this funding, in 2019, members hosted the 'New Directions in Second World War Studies' interdisciplinary workshop which brought together researchers in the field to discuss their work and to flag up themes which will be of importance during the 80th anniversary commemorations of the conflict (2019-2025). Following a suspension of activities due to covid-19, the Network formally launched in 2021.

The Network continues to facilitate the discussion and exchange of ideas on the theme of the Second World War, hosting colloquiums, conferences and round tables. It also supports a platform from which higher education institutions, museums and cultural institutions can identify and develop potential new partnerships addressing the Second World War. University staff work with members at National Museums Scotland as well as other key partners such as the Commonwealth War Graves Commission.
