Keynote Speaker:
Alondra Nelson, Professor, Department of Sociology; Dean of Social Sciences, Columbia University; Author of The Social Life of DNA: Race, Reparations, and Reconciliation after the Genome.
The Responses to State Sponsored Collective Injustice conference will consider responses to devastating collective injustice around the world, using the Roma case as a focal point for more general inquiry and discussion. More broadly, the conference will discuss the range of responses of governments to past and present state-sponsored wrongs against minority and marginalized groups from across the globe. The event will bring together world leading activists and scholars to explore the issue of state sponsored violence and collective injustices comparatively – across historic and geographic regions as well as across academic disciplines.
