Call for papers – PhD workshop

Transitional justice in the Western Balkans: Emerging research and theory building

Overview

PhD students researching transitional justice issues are invited to submit a paper for a PhD Workshop on Transitional Justice in the Western Balkans.

This workshop will bring together doctoral researchers with a shared interest in transitional justice in the Western Balkans. We welcome papers and work-in-progress from researches doing their doctoral dissertations on any aspect of transitional justice in the region and in any stage of doctoral research. Also, we welcome research in any discipline, including but not limited to political science, international relations, law, sociology, gender studies and anthropology. We are also open to work applying different social science methods.

The aim of the workshop is to take stock of the emerging research in the Western Balkans. It will evaluate how this research advances evidence about the effects of a range of transitional justice initiatives in the region as well as how this evidence furthers theory building in the field of transitional justice more broadly.

The PhD workshop also aims to facilitate creation and expansion of participants’ professional networks in a supportive and engaging environment.

The workshop is organised jointly within the scope of the research project ‘Justice Interactions and Peacebuilding: From Static to Dynamic Discourses across National, Ethnic, Gender and Age Groups’ (), funded by the European Research Council (ERC, No. 772354), and in collaboration with the , a Centre for Research on South Eastern Europe, both based at the European Institute at London School of Economics and Political Science.
