The project "Peace and the Politics of Memory" investigates how a post-conflict society harbours conflicting memories and experiences and how the making of memory is contested, but also how it may contribute to sustainable peace. From a comparative perspective, the project focuses on sites, agents, narratives and experiences in memory politics in the conflict-affected societies of Bosnia-Herzegovina, Cyprus, Rwanda and South Africa.
