To do this, we have digitalized the corpus of parliamentary debates for the full duration of the Northern Rhodesian Colony, 1924 - 1964 -- A source hope will help generate more research on colonial legislative politics in the future

In this work, @antonkronborg.bsky.social @oyvindstiansen.bsky.social and I try to understand how discrimination on the parliamentary floor changed as the African population won (limited) representation in the colonial Northern Rhodesian Legislative Council.

War is seemingly everywhere these days.

Why does it occur? How do most disputes find peaceful resolutions? How can we systematically study human conflict?

We will engage with these questions in the subject "STV2235". The auditorium is open to the public. Friday 08:15.
