Last Friday, Dr. Élise Féron, Co-Editor in Chief of the Journal of Disappearance Studies, an Director of INCORE (International Conflict Research Institute), visited the Irish Centre for Human Rights at University of Galway. During her visit, she presented the newly launched journal and highlighted the important work of the team behind it.

The Journal of Enforced Disappearances is the first academic journal dedicated exclusively to enforced disappearances and disappearances, offering an essential space for interdisciplinary research, critical reflection, and collaborative dialogue.

Dr Féron is Professor of Peace and Conflict Studies and the Director of INCORE at Ulster University. She also serves as an invited professor at the University of Turin (Italy), the Diplomatic School of Yerevan (Armenia), Sciences Po Lille (France), and the University of Coimbra (Portugal). Prior to moving to Northern Ireland, she held permanent academic posts at Tampere University (Finland), the University of Kent (UK), and Sciences Po Lille (France).

Her research focuses on feminist peace research, diaspora politics, and the multiple entanglements between conflict, violence and peace, including the long-term consequences of disappearances. She has three decades of experience researching these issues in the South Caucasus, Eastern Congo, Burundi, Rwanda, Northern Ireland, Madagascar and Cyprus, among other contexts.

The Journal, published by Bristol University Press, is available here: https://bristoluniversitypressdigital.com/view/journals/jds/jds-overview.xml?tab_body=editorial-board.
