What is it about?
An argument for close attention to trauma as critical to understanding the world conflict issues. We do a close literature review of the epidemiology of trauma and apply a novel model (The Strategies for Trauma Awareness and Resilience) to two cases of recent violence.

Why is it important?
This is important as it expands our view of trauma as more than a psychological phenomenon, but also a sociological one.
Perspectives
It took time to get our ideas accepted by quantitative and empirically dominated journals, but we feel as though this line of argument is critical for human flourishing. We are now co-editing a book project that aims to illustrate the connection between trauma, marginalization and neoliberal norms of society.
