Dear colleagues,
Next week, March 17th and 18th, 2022, Unspoken History Conference, WHAT HAPPENS TO THE UNSPOKEN? Long-term consequences of troubling experiences will be debuting online.
This online conference will allow our fellow museum professionals, historians, and anthropologists to learn more about how museums could contribute to easing the burden of the long-term consequences of war and the intergenerational transfer of trauma. The Unspoken History Conference gathers a group of experts from different fields such as psychology, neuroscience, and epigenetics to explain important mechanisms and methods that have been used to deal with unspoken traumatic experiences.
The six fabulous speakers will discuss topics such as
· The mechanisms behind intergenerational transfer of trauma and silence from one generation to the next
· How to use Narrative Exposure Therapy (NET) in contact with informants
· How NETfacts can contribute to healing within societies
· The war mindset
· Settler colonial genocide and residential schools in Canada
· Collective trauma among minorities, exemplified by the Sami minority
Place: Online
Date: March 17th, 14.00- 17.00 and March 18th,
11.00 – 14.00
