This PaCCS Partner Briefing Report outlines key insights from the Sounding Conflict PaCCS (Partnership for Conflict, Crime and Security) research project meeting held in Queen’s University, Belfast on 2 November 2017. Six team members and eleven project partners met to discuss questions of how language, discourse and memories of sound practices from protracted to post-conflict inform expressions of resistance and reconciliation. This roundtable aims to extend these discussions in other directions while reflecting upon the findings of the PaCCS team for 2018.
