Welcome to the Historical Justice and Memory Research Network
Since December 2010, the Historical Justice and Memory Research Network has offered a platform for researchers and activists working on issues of historical justice and social and public memory. This website has provided information and resources to encourage innovative interdisciplinary, transnational and comparative research. It has been housed at The Swinburne Institute for Social Research, Melbourne.
From 14 to 17 February 2012, the Swinburne Institute hosted the Network’s first Historical Justice and Memory conference. For more information, please visit: http://www.historicaljusticeandmemoryconference.net/
In February 2013, the Historical Justice and Memory Research Network will be superseded by the Dialogues on Historical Justice and Memory, a joint initiative of the Swinburne Institute and of Columbia University’s Institute for the Study of Human Rights. Once the Dialogues website goes live, the Historical Justice and Memory Research Network’s website will no longer be updated.
