Time: Tue Jan 24, 2023, 4:00PM – 6:30PM
Location: Auditorium, Hesburgh Center for International Studies/Zoom Webinar
The Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies, in collaboration with the Lucy Family Institute for Data and Society and the Clingen Family Center for the Study of Modern Ireland celebrates the migration of the Colombian Truth Commission’s digital archives of transmedia (TM) content, encompassing over 200,000 audiovisual and textual materials, to the University of Notre Dame’s servers and global platform. With the financial support of Humanity United Foundation, the University of Notre Dame will give the world unfettered access to the TM on a secure online platform open to expert and non-expert audiences, victims, civil society groups, artists, and scholars alike.
Members of the Truth Commission’s team, experts in this vast TM archive, will join us to share their insights on the internal processes of the work of the Commission during its mandate. The lessons learned from the data and technical work surrounding the peacebuilding and reconciliation activities will be relevant to faculty and fellows, researchers, and graduate and undergraduate students in the social sciences, data science, and humanities.
A reception will follow in the Hesburgh Center Great Hall.
