International Conference on Trauma and History
The Project for Critical Asian Studies addresses the question of how we understand trauma, defined as unread or unspoken injustice. We want to know what happens when mass injustice is deeply felt but seemingly inexpressible. The International Conference on Trauma and History questions the ways that the objects and subjects of 20th-century traumatic injustice are written, read, and thought about in the face of 21st-century economic and social transformation.
