As researchers, we always search for new studies and updates on topics about conflicts, war events, violence, and military interventions and how they affect the lives of individuals, children, and families. This body of literature is not very large and is scattered across a number of professional fields, so we share the literature we have found in order to support the development of this research field. Search this Purple Wagon section for abstracts or full text articles and presentations done by researchers and practitioners on these topics.
