Dear Colleagues,

I am writing to you to share the hybrid Capstone Panel Event “ Democracy and the Legacies of Truth and Reconciliation” at the 2024 Participedia Partners Conference in Cape Town! You can register for either in-person or virtual (via Zoom) attendance. Please see the attached poster for more information and the registration link.

This event features the recent book Truth Commissions and State Building, which emerged from a series of conferences organized by the Centre for Human Rights and Restorative Justice (CHRRJ) at McMaster University. Dr. Bonny Ibhawoh and Dr. Jasper Ayelazuno, who are the centre’s members, along with Dr. Serges Kamga, will discuss Truth and Reconciliation Commissions (TRCs) through the lens of democratic innovations.

Please visit the centre’s website for our upcoming events.

Best Regards,
