Memory Sites and Human Rights

MOOC

Free enrolment until
31 May 2020

ENROL

Why and how do we remember past atrocities and human rights violations? What is the role of memory sites in social reconstruction, transitional justice and democratisation? How do memory sites shape communities, societies, identities and nations?

MOOC on Memory Sites and Human Rights

The Global Campus of Human Rights (GC) is proud to offer again one of its most successful Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs). The MOOC on Memory Sites and Human Rights focuses on the role of memory sites in their crucial interplay with historical trauma, the reconciliation process, the chosen methods for dealing with the past, as well as with nation building dynamics and the shaping of societal identity.

Course Outline

The programme is structured in three Modules. Module 1 focuses on the conceptual framework behind memory sites. Starting from a reflection on why and what is important to remember, it then moves to discuss how memories are shaped and who is involved in ‘building memory’. Module 2 is dedicated to the objectives of memory sites, ranging from information and knowledge-sharing to the idea of providing evidence of abuses; from the role of memory sites for identity building/ reconstruction and education to the ethical, legal and political challenges of the representation of horror. Module 3 will focus on aspects related to the ‘design’ of memory sites: format and content, use of testimonials and symbolic resources, artistic language and types of institutional approaches.

Lecturers and Experts

The MOOC is led by a team of GC Professors from the Regional Programmes in South-East Europe (ERMA) and Latin America and the Caribbean (LATMA). They are joined by an international faculty including among others: Nora Cortiñas, President of Madres de Plaza de Mayo, Línea Fundadora; Tarik Samarah, author of “Srebrenica – Genocide in the heart of Europe”; Vesna Teršelić, Director of the Documenta Centre for Dealing with the Past and RLA Laureate, and Albie Sachs, former Judge of the South African Constitutional Court.
