Oppression, Resistance, and Affective Narratives: Understanding the Impact of Cultural Artefacts on Public Opinion about Race and Politics.

Conwright的项目完全符合安全，冲突和正义途径中概述的主题，愿景和巨大挑战。具体来说，这个博士项目采用创新的方法来分析当代文化文物及其对种族政治的影响。Conwright的项目在全球范围内询问重要的概念，如“民族”，“种族”和“种族"，白色民族主义和极右极端主义，在英国的案例研究中，这也成为种族化社会冲突（和反应性公共政策）的令人担忧的特征。在这样做的过程中，他超越了一些在文化研究和国际关系中进行的更孤立的研究，以促进在政治的微观，中观和宏观层面上的重要跨学科研究。例如，他的项目提出了关于情感如何调解个人对种族政治叙事的反应的问题;文化艺术品如何引发群体间的冲突和解决方案;以及最终文化艺术品如何与旨在改善种族正义和社会和谐的公共政策倡议相邻运作。康赖特的项目对那些消费关于种族和政治的情感叙事的人的个性化体验也具有内在的敏感性，他试图通过细致入微的理论和实证工作捕捉这种多样性来开辟新天地。

Conwright's project fits perfectly with the themes, vision, and grandchallenges outlined in the Security, Conflict and Justice pathway.Specifically, this PhD project takes an innovative approach to the analysisof contemporary cultural artefacts and their impact on racial politics.Conwright's project interrogates important concepts such as 'nationality','race', and 'ethnicity' within a global context of rising white nationalism andfar-right extremism, which have also become worrying features ofracialised social conflict (and reactive public policies) in the case studycontext of the UK. In doing so, he goes beyond some of the more siloedresearch conducted in cultural studies and international relations topromote an important interdisciplinary inquiry at the micro, meso-, andmacro-level of politics. For instance, his project raises questions about howemotions mediate personal responses to racial political narratives; howcultural artefacts provoke inter-group conflict and resolution; and ultimatelyhow cultural artefacts might operate adjacent to public policy initiativesaimed at improving racial justice and social harmony. Conwright's project isalso inherently sensitive to the individualised experiences of those whoconsume affective narratives about race and politics, and he seeks tobreak new ground by capturing that diversity through nuanced theoreticaland empirical work.
