School of Information Management and Systems seminar

27 April 2005

You are invited to a seminar presented by Professor Eric Ketelaar, Honorary Professor to the Faculty of Information Technology and SIMS and an international leader in archives and records.

'Truth, memory and identity: Connecting Australia reconciliation with the International Criminal Tribunal for former Yugoslavia'.

When: Thursday 28 April, 2.30--5 pm
Where: S2.32, Caulfield campus

The United Nations' Commission on Human Rights is currently meeting in Geneva to discuss, among other things, the right to know the inalienable right of victims of violations of human rights and humanitarian law to know the truth about past events.

This forum will explore how truth and memory, as instruments for reconciliation and justice, shape the identities of 'communities of recollections' (as John Stuart Mill called it) in space-time.
