Remembering and Narrating Conflict seeks to promote the construction and reconstruction of memories that challenge the existing power imbalances between the personal stories of victims and the institutionalized versions of the past of political leaders, armed groups, state officials, or the media. The hope is that this sort of memory work becomes a dynamic site to make the voices, knowledge, and interpretations of victims central in narratives and histories of conflicts and to strengthen social organizations, communities, and victims? organizations. This is the sort of work that is meant here by the term ?historical memory,? working with individual and collective memory(ies) as a dynamic source and means to document and interrogate the past and to understand the varied ways in which memory informs every day life choices and claims of survivors of mass violence. These resources aim to support memory workers to be sensitive to political differences and differences of gender, sexuality, class, ethnicity, race, caste, region, religion, language, age, and physical ability that cut across victimized communities, the armed actors of the conflict, and even the organizations that do memory work.
