IRW is excited to announce our new Community Engaged Learning project under the Prototype Warfare programme.

IRW’s Dr. Lauren Gould was interviewed for an article in The Independent about the negative effects of states failing to take responsibility for civilian casualties.

This IRW project develops a fuller understanding of how humans shape technologies, and how technologies shape our actions in warfare.
