Call for Papers: Beyond Testimony and Trauma: Oral History in the Aftermath of Mass Violence

22-25 March 2012
Montréal, Québec, Canada

Deadline for Proposals deadline: 15 October 2011

The conference is organized by Concordia University’s Centre for Oral History and Digital Storytelling http://storytelling.concordia.ca/oralhistory/, the Montreal Institute for Genocide and Human Rights Studies www.migs.concordia.ca and the Montreal Life Stories Project www.lifestoriesmontreal.ca, a 7-year community-university research alliance that has explored the life of Montrealers displaced by war, genocide and other human rights violations. This international conference is timed to coincide with a month long series of public screenings, performances, workshops and round-tables that represent the culmination of our project. Each evening of the conference will see a major speaker or oral history performance that will be open to the general public. We hope that you will consider joining us in Montreal this coming March.
