Remembering Rightly, Remembering Wrongly:The Role of Memory in Breaking the Cycle of Violence

Sarah Bernstein and John Munayer in conversation with Miroslav Volf.

What is the relationship between memory and violence? How do we remember rightly and how do we remember wrongly? And how does memory play a role in the cycle of violence?

These questions are just some of what the Rossing Center’s webinar series addresses in our quest for peacebuilding and dialogue. Following our webinars on the contexts in Rwanda and the North of Ireland, we will delve into the context in the Balkans. Our next webinar, “Remembering Rightly, Remembering Wrongly: the Role of Memory in Breaking the Cycle of Violence.”, is with Croatian-American intellectual, theologian, Yale University’s Henry B. Wright Professor of Theology, and Founding Director of the Divinity School’s Center for Faith and Culture, Miroslav Volf. An active participant in interfaith dialogue, he has also written extensively on memory and its functions, including in his book: The End of Memory: Remembering Rightly in a Violent World.
