Launching a new Peace and Security Fellowship with the United Nations
The University of Oxford and the United Nations have launched a new Peace and Security Fellowship aimed at strengthening the future of UN peace operations as global conflict intensifies and multilateral security institutions face growing pressure.
Over the course of the eight-week programme beginning on Monday 27 April, ten fellows from diverse professional backgrounds will step away from operational duties to reflect on the strategic challenges facing contemporary peace operations. Supported by academic mentors and access to Oxford’s research resources, the initiative is designed to bridge the gap between academic research and policy practice at a time when the effectiveness and legitimacy of UN missions are under sustained scrutiny.
The Peace and Security Fellowship is directed by Professor Richard Caplan. He believes peace workers and researchers must collaborate closely so peace missions can survive changing political and security threats. Professor David Doyle, Head of Department, highlighted the value of practitioner–scholar exchange in generating fresh thinking while enriching academic communities with frontline insights.
Fellows will engage with students and scholars throughout their residency, present their findings at a concluding seminar, and submit policy-focused research papers.
The Fellowship is supported by a contribution from Sai Prakash Leo Muthu and Sairam Institutions, in honour of the late Leo Muthu.
The programme culminated in a public lecture on Thursday 18 June at Oxford's Museum of Natural History by Under Secretary General, Jean-Pierre Lacroix, reflecting on the future direction of UN peace operations.
