Brad Evans is a Professor of Political Violence & Aesthetics and founding Director of the Centre for the Study of Violence at the University of Bath, United Kingdom. He is the author of twenty books and edited volumes, along with over a hundred and fifty academic and international media articles. Brad has written extensively on the state of international conflicts and political affairs. He previously held academic positions at the University of Bristol and the University of Leeds, while also teaching at Columbia University, New York.
Brads current research is focused on the violence of disappearance. Having co-directed the State of Disappearance project (2017-present) he has led a number of initiatives, including an art exhibition, series of workshops and webinars, international conference and a number of edited volumes that deal with the subject. This has informed a new project, which building on previous work, is investigating the role art plays in providing a transgressive witnessing to atrocities, including the visualisation of absence. A key development in this has been to lead the installation of Chantal Meza's State of Disappearance collection at the Chancellors Building at the University of Bath, which is informing and reshaping pedagogical practices and inspiring new areas of research and public engagement.
