The first edition of the online peer reviewed Amsterdam Museum Journal (AMJournal), focuses on the many influences that war and conflict have on our cities – its cultures, people, products, policies, and processes. War, conflict, and cities are intertwined, as cities are both prime targets for violence and platforms of resistance. Throughout the ages, people have fled war and conflict both to and from cities worldwide; making their homes anew and their voices heard. As the city museum of Amsterdam, we want to respond to the (public) call on (cultural) institutions to take responsibility and academically explore the effects war and conflict have. Schavemaker is co-founding editor in chief of the journal, in collaboration with Dr. Emma van Bijnen. https://www.amsterdammuseum.nl/journals/warconflictandthecity/6209
