Diasporas and Transitional Justice Workshop
Maria Koinova and Dzeneta Karabegovic are organizing a workshop “Diasporas and Transitional Justice” on 21 February, 2017 in Baltimore, MD.
The workshop is conducted within the framework of the European Research Council Starting Grant “Diasporas and Contested Sovereignty,” and will take place prior to the annual convention of the International Studies Association 2017. It will discuss a novel research line to study the involvement of diasporas and other non-state actors in transitional justice processes in deeply divided societies. The workshop will gather established and early career scholars working on issues of reconciliation and remembrance of the past, genocide recognition, and mobilization activities such as competition, cooperation, and coalition-building through offline and online activism. Empirical cases are derived from all parts of the world, with specific references to Armenia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Haiti, Ukraine, Kurdish areas in the Middle East, Palestine, Sri Lanka, Syria, and Vietnam, among others.
A follow-up workshop with a different group of scholars will take place at Warwick University on 3 April, 2017.
