Explore justice, human rights, and memory in post-conflict societies and contribute to the work of an important organization with a meaningful internship.
OVERVIEW
This internship and seminar program invites you to explore transitional justice, human rights, and memory politics in post-conflict societies. You will first attend a series of lectures introducing the sociopolitical and historical context of the Balkans in recent decades, including the break-up of Yugoslavia, the wars of the 1990s, and post-war processes of transition as related to peacebuilding and social change. You will be introduced to the work of local civil society actors including those focused on memory activism, human rights, and other forms of engaged citizenship. Following this introduction, you will be matched with a local organization and mentor to complete your internship.
