Building solidarity through comparative lived experiences of post/conflict: Reflections on two days of dialogue.

Occasions for in-depth dialogue among academics in times of conflict are rare. Drawing upon such a dialogue between Syrian academics and international
counterparts from contexts undergoing conflict or grappling with post-conflict
legacies, we identity seven dominant themes that emerged from these discussions and reflect on participants’ strategic insights and mutual support, in addition to highlighting the consciousness that was raised around the agency, limitations, complicity and intergenerational legacies borne by academics and the
academy in crisis contexts.
