To start conversations across various disciplines, often interconnected and have wide concern.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018The motivation behind KCWA is to encourage a dialogue between interdisciplinary research.\u2019 co-founder<a href=\"https:\/\/research.kent.ac.uk\/conflict-analysis\/person\/giulia_grillo\/\"> Giulia Grillo<\/a> told us \u2018We aim to provide stepping stones for early career researchers to kickstart their academic career.<br \/>\nBesides providing a platform for various ideas, we are currently looking for roles to be filled. We are looking for individuals who are especially interested in editing blogs and hosting or editing podcasts.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u2018KCWA aims to provide a space for all topics \u2013 from war and conflict, to the market, to global climate change, to the cells in our bodies. It is often hard for early career researchers to get their work out into the world. KCWA makes this easier. Need to get your idea out but it is still too early for a journal article? Need to talk about something in more depth? We provide you with the space to do so through our various outlets.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7115\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7115\" style=\"width: 550px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-7115\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/sac-news-events\/files\/2021\/10\/Giulia_Louise_KCWA.jpg\" alt=\"Founders of KCWA laugh together. \" width=\"550\" height=\"379\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7115\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Giulia and Louise are looking for other PhD collaborators from across the division to get involved in KCWA.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u2018This initiative seeks to make our research easily accessible to a wider audience.
