Subject: Oral history and human rights - expertise required for York conference
Dear all,
Please find below an invitation to the
Responsibility to the Story conference at York
(UK) University Sept 9-11 which is now open for
registration. The conference aims to discuss the
ethical implications of the increased use of testimony in human rights work.
I am one of the organisers of the conference, and
as well promoting the conference to a wide group
of people, I have also been tasked with the job
of finding someone involved in oral history and
human rights work who might be interested in
participating in one of the panels at the
conference. If that someone is you, or you know
someone who might be interested/appropriate please do let me know.
Responsibility to the Story: Testimony and Ethics in Human Rights
Research and Narratives
Centre for Applied Human Rights, University of York (UK)
9-11 September 2009
This international conference will launch an
important new journal: the Journal of Human
Rights Practice. It is hosted by the Centre for
Applied Human Rights, University of York (UK),
and Oxford University Press, in collaboration
with Amnesty International, the Medical
Foundation for the Care of Victims of Torture, and Panos London.
The conference will bring together academics,
practitioners and artists to explore ethical
concerns surrounding the use of testimony. Human
rights research has expanded significantly in the
academy over the past decade in a range of
disciplines (law, politics, anthropology,
literature). Cultural output, ranging from child
soldier autobiographies to documentary films
about transitional justice, is similarly
prominent. Practitioner research has had to adapt
to its own forms of expansion (growing interest
in social, economic and cultural rights; use of
new media such as the internet). The use and
study of testimony have been driving forces
behind these developments. But the ethical
implications of the rise of testimonial work,
particularly in the global media age, remain under-explored.
The aims of this event are to investigate what
responsibility researchers, practitioners and
artists have to the stories they use, and to
disseminate best ethical practice.
Conference fee: £70 waged; £30 unwaged/student
Film festival: £5
