Abstract:
The Centre for Transitional Justice and Post-Conflict Reconstruction is
a collaborative, interdisciplinary centre that brings together experts
from across the Western community whose teaching and research focus on
issues including transitional justice, reconciliation, criminal
accountability, post-colonial legacies, legal reconstruction, the
environment, human rights, economic justice, healing circles,
democratization, and more. Through the IDI, the Centre builds on its
already-strong established programmes by implementing three distinct
interdisciplinary initiatives related to its work and mandate: an
undergraduate minor, a collaborative graduate programme, and a research
project, which focuses on “Unpacking the Canadian Indian Residential
Schools Truth and Reconciliation Commission.”
