DISTERRA Network
Katy is taking part in this network and project led by Professor Nichola Khan and Dr Zoha Waseem at the University of Edinburgh.  The DISTERRA network will create new international networks of migration, conflict, and environmental crises to construct and debate new research directions across terrains of disappearances. DISTERRA crosses intellectual boundaries by bringing together otherwise disparate academics, artists, and experts, working in this fields, and seeks to develop new transdisciplinary connections across terrains of disappearances. In addition to producing transdisciplinary knowledge, the DISTERRA network will analyse “disappearances” as a specific lens, and use creative and innovative approaches to engage the public and communities about the complex nature of disappearances across diverse migration and forced displacement scenarios. https://terrainsofdisappearances.wordpress.com
