UBC Events related to Latin America: Transitional Justice and Participatory Budgeting















Renown Harvard Medical Anthropologist Kimberly Theidon will be at UBC this weekend hosting a series of presentations about her research in Latin America. What follows is the e-mail that was circulated by the Political Science department staff to students. I myself might attend the 'militarized masculinities' lecture at 11 am, and will also be going to a lecture by Prof. Ligia Luchmann at 1:30 pm about participatory budgeting in Brazil. Let me know if you will be going ! 



Please join the Transitional Justice Network and others as we welcome Kimberly Theidon to the Liu Institute for Global Issues with several  great events this week!

Dr. Kimberly Theidon is an associate professor of anthropology at
Harvard University and the executive director of Praxis: Institute
for Social Justice. She received her Masters in Public Health and
Ph.D. in medical anthropology from the University of California,
Berkeley. Dr. Theidon has conducted activist research in Latin
America for over a decade on the politics of violence and
reconciliation, and has a longstanding interest for: disarmament,
demobilization and reintegration programs for ex-combatants; the
politics of post-war reparations; comparative peace processes; human
rights and international humanitarian law; as well as truth
commissions, transitional justice and reconciliation.
