The research project “LIVINGMEMORIES – Living together with difficult memories and diverse identities”  is funded by Academy of Finland and the ERA.Net RUS Plus-initiative 2015-2017. The project organizes an interdisciplinary workshop focused on the key terms related with the project theme.
In the workshop we will discuss different definitions of these key terms and their value as research tools. How can we utilize them to conceptualize and contextualize our research topics?

Registration: Please inform about your participation by Monday 31 October to Kirsti Salmi-Niklander: Kirsti.salmi-niklander@helsinki.fi
