PL 322 - Truth, Justice, and ReconciliationCredits: 4
Investigates themes of post-conflict memory, truth commissions, transitional justice, human rights, political “amnesia,” and the role of post-conflict education. Theoretical discussions are illustrated with case studies from El Salvador, Sierra Leone, Cambodia, Chile, Rwanda, and South Africa, among others. The class engages questions such as: what happens after violent conflict, and who is held accountable? Who remembers and who forgets the violence, and how do individuals, communities, and states go about rebuilding the social, political, and legal fabric in post-conflict contexts?
