The Cambridge University Post-Conflict and Post-Crisis Group is convening a two-day conference from 25-27 June 2008, entitled The Culture of Reconstruction: Interdisciplinary Perspectives on the Aftermath of Crisis.

This conference is intended to be inter-disciplinary and inter-practice, bringing policy makers and practitioners to the table in order to enable an exchange between those designing and implementing post-crisis interventions and those researching these situations. Lord Paddy Ashdown will be the keynote speaker for the conference.

Panels will be organised in such a way as to encourage discussion across disciplines and methodologies. The panels topics being suggested are the following: the culture of reconstruction; accountability and stakeholders; the politics of space and security; reconstructing culture; identity, religion and heritage; mourning and memorialisation; ownership and capacity building; governing affect: Panels will be organised in such a way as to encourage discussion across disciplines and approaches, focusing on the following proposed topics: truth, guilt and legitimacy.

We are soliciting contributions addressing the complexity and nuances of theories, methods and case studies in post-crisis reconstruction work. Contributions may include academic papers (20 minutes long), posters, or other creative work (i.e. documentaries, photography.) Lord Ashdown will be the inaugural lecture of the conference.

Deadline for proposals is 22 February 2008; acceptance will follow shortly afterwards.
