The HaSS Faculty Research Institutes and the cross-institutional Methods Hub are delighted to announce the next in our five-part series of experimental drop-in sessions/workshops that will be co-hosted with Newcastle University’s spotlight partner, the International Coalition of Sites of Conscience (ICSC).
The series has been designed as a five-part 'training' series on engaged, community-led(based) methods, based on reflection and knowledge exchange between the International Coalition of Sites of Conscience, participating member sites, Newcastle University staff and students, academic affiliates of the coalition and any interested member of the public.
Session Four ‘Working Across Generations’ asks what it means to work across generations, with elders who may bring very different perspectives and life experiences. It will explore how researchers and others can reach across those boundaries, particularly in addressing memory and trauma.
In this workshop, Sites of Conscience members from around the globe will discuss their experiences in this work.
This session was led by Linda Norris and Braden Paynter from the ICSC.
Participants:
ANEKED (The Gambia). Led by women African human rights activists, the African Network against Extrajudicial Killings and Enforced Disappearances (ANEKED) is an independent, non-political and non-religious civil society organisation. We campaign against forced disappearances and summary executions, advocating for justice for victims and their families. We place an emphasis on women survivors who, despite leading the struggle for truth (when, why, who, how) and justice, are often overlooked and invisible (ANEKED 2019).
ACT FOR THE DISAPPEARED (Lebanon). ACT for the Disappeared (ACT) was founded in 2010 as a Lebanese human rights organization seeking to: bring answers to the thousands of families of the missing and forcibly disappeared in their demand to know the fate and whereabouts of their loved ones; initiate a sustainable peacebuilding reconciliation process in Lebanon, in the interest of bringing recognition to the victims, enabling collective healing and restoring social cohesion (ACT).
