KISJ X EVIDENCE COLLABORATION
The EVIDENCE Network is pleased to announce that it has partnered with the King’s International Security Society (KISS) in line with the network’s mission to promote student and ‘early career’ voices. The partnership will seek to mentor students and young researchers looking to publish via the EVIDENCE blog or KISS’ student-led publication, the King’s International Security Journal (KISJ).
KISS was created with the purpose of prompting students and academics to address the most pressing challenges to global security, justice and human rights. Accordingly, this year KISS launched KISJ, which aims to engage students and faculty to apply academic insights to pressing issues of human, environmental, gender, cyber/AI, and economic security. The Journal hopes its publications will inspire lawyers, policymakers, and leaders to pursue its motto “Knowledge in the Service of Humanity”.
KISJ was founded by two King’s College London students, Inés Llamas Delgado (History and International Relations - 2026) and Gina Agustí Esteve (International Relations - 2026). Llamas and Agustí believe the gap between theory and practice in security can be bridged through rigorous research, interdisciplinary dialogue, and a commitment to collective struggles and re-asserting fundamental rights.
The EVIDENCE Network was born in 2023, observing the rising tide of chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) dis- and misinformation. Specifically, it seeks to take a practical, bottom-up approach through research and evidence-led resources to counter information disorder in this space and encourage critical thinking. The network’s ethos is rooted in community participation to raise awareness for these critical issues.
This partnership is twofold:
Researchers at EVIDENCE will mentor staff writers of the KISJ as they conduct investigations for their articles.
Contributors to the EVIDENCE Blog will have the opportunity to develop their findings further in KISJ by producing an academic article.
By partnering on this venture, both groups seek to encourage the amplification of underrepresented voices and foster interdisciplinary research on some of the most pressing issues we are facing day.
