Truth Commissions and State Building
As part of Black History Month, Professor Bawa, the first African director of York’s Resource Centre for Public Sociology, will examine Truth Commissions as mechanisms for civic inclusion, identity formation, institutional reform, and nation (re)building in post-conflict and post-authoritarian societies. Attendees can learn about this issue and offer restorative power to nations across the globe.
