Translating Freedom reading group

This research project focuses on translations of 'freedom' in post-conflict settings. As democracy, human rights, revolution, reconciliation or in some other form, translations of 'freedom' are a vital component of internal national debates, external interventions and links between the two, in such settings. Two sectors have been identified as central to the translation of freedom in post-conflict settings:

1. Human rights and transitional justice
2. Public culture, ranging from literature, film and theatre to community arts projects, graffiti and memorialisation. 

If you would like to join the reading group for the summer here are the dates:

• Tuesday 6th September, 1pm to 3pm: 'Translation'
• Monday 3rd October, 1pm to 3pm: 'Translating Freedom'
