During this academic year, the IAS Research and Creative Collaborative Memory, Trauma, and Human Rights at the Crossroads of Art and Science is continuing its interdisciplinary exploration of the ways in which understandings of memory and trauma intersect with human rights practices by organizing several public online conferences, listed below (links to be shared as they become available). We hope to organize a few additional events as well, for which we are still finalizing details.

Learn more about the span and goals of our work on our website.
 
Aside from a number of conferences and workshops last year, our collaborative organized a major interdisciplinary, international conference on October 3-4, 2019. All the conference presentations can be seen here.
