*Conference themes*

Transitional justice has become established as a flourishing field of 
research and societal impact. The conference is the first of its kind to 
bring together different disciplines within the broader field of 
transitional justice: history, political sciences, law and criminal 
justice, media, journalism and communications, social 
psychology/sociology, human geography, religious studies, arts and 
languages, as well as digital humanities.

We invite contributions and reflections on the effectiveness, and 
afterlife, of transitional justice practices, national and 
trans-national concerns with transitional justice, political and public 
effectiveness of transitional justice practices, programs, and methods. 
We welcome contributions on any country/region. The key goal of the 
conference is to showcase existing and novel avenues in 
interdisciplinary scholarship in the field of transitional justice. 
Proposals for traditional panel papers are welcome, as are proposals for 
symposia, and roundtables, on any topic relevant to any aspect of the 
themes addressed above.

*Submissions*

Abstracts of up to 200 words for presentations of 20 minutes are invited 
to be submitted by 15 March 2020. Presentations will be organized in 
thematic sessions. We also welcome panel and roundtable submissions with 
4-5 speakers and discussant.

sent to our Conference Manager, Rachel Armitage 
((R.S.Armitage /at/ lboro.ac.uk) <mailto:(R.S.Armitage /at/ lboro.ac.uk)>). *

*Workshop Programme**

7^th July 2020

Workshop Convenor: Dr Alena Pfoser & Dr Guzel Yusupova (Loughborough 
University)

*/Fostering dialogue in heritage communication/*//

How do we talk about contested histories in a way that encourages 
understanding and dialogue with the ‘other’? In the workshop we will 
analyse excerpts from tour guide narratives and interviews with tour 
guides who work in settings shaped by memory conflict. We will talk 
about risks in heritage communication and identify productive and less 
productive strategies for communicating difficult topics.

8^th July 2020

Workshop Convenor: Dr Agata Fijalkowski (Leeds Law School)

*/Exploring the Cold War Visually/*

Do photographs speak legally? This workshop will consider this question 
in connection with the dispensation of justice in the immediate post-WW2 
period. We will look at images, archival materials, specific vignettes 
and readings – with the aim to engage, challenge and unpack key legal 
historical narratives about justice from that particular time frame.

*Please note that the pre-conference workshops have been scheduled so 
participants will also be able to attend substantive parts of the main 
conference on 8^th July.
