The Coercive In/Justice research project is the first transnational and empirically-driven study of its kind.
It develops a new theoretical and methodological framework to render the gendered phenomenon of coercive control more discoverable in and conceptually relevant to the study and understanding of conflict-related violence and transitional justice.
Our understanding of the true nature and extent of women’s experiences of conflict-related violence and transition remains partial. The contribution of this project is to expand knowledge by advancing the discovery of ‘conflict-related coercive control’. It makes imperceptible coercive harms that are wholly conflict-related discernible to scholarship, enlightening us towards whole other worlds of conflict dynamics.
Through using phenomenological orientations and methodologies, the research project makes visible the multi-dimensional nature of the coercive realities in which women live and experience armed conflict and transition.
