Symposia
Research meeting on Historical Trauma
We will host the first research meeting focussing on Historical Trauma on 10-12 August 2016 at Stellenbosch. Through this event, we aim to bring together an interdisciplinary team of scholars ranging across the fields of psychology, philosophy, art, linguistics, politics, neuroscience and others to reflect on new ways of thinking about and studying historical trauma and its effects on current and future generations. This symposium will also serve as a space to think about how we can contribute creatively to the development of research on historical trauma from various backgrounds, and to think about how we can collaborate in order to contribute to better understanding what historical trauma - as it is understood - means, and what its implications are for current generations in the face of continued violence and traumatisation, especially but not exclusively within the South African context. We hope that through this meeting, we can develop new collaborations and strengthen existing ones. Furthermore, this meeting will lay the foundation for the future meetings which will all be developed into research outputs in the form of edited volumes.
