Across the globe, survivors, activists, and nations search for productive ways of moving forward in the aftermaths of mass atrocities. Louis Bickford and Eduardo González have worked in many such areas. In conversation with Prof. Mikhal Dekel, they will talk about their lived experiences: challenges, successes, and the ideas and ideals that animate them.

Louis Bickford has worked on the collective memory of past episodes of violence, conflict, genocide, or crimes against humanity for over 20 years in countries as diverse as Bosnia, Cambodia, Canada, Ghana, Morocco, Peru, and the United States, among others. He is currently consulting with the Ukrainian Institute for National Remembrance (UNIR).

Eduardo González has over twenty-five years of experience supporting post conflict justice processes around the world. He has supported truth and reconciliation commissions; contributed to the establishment of criminal justice, reparation and memory policies in all continents, and currently serves as the UN Independent Expert on the Situation of Human Rights in Mali.
