PhD candidate Transitional Justice, Full-time for four years
“Understanding the Age of Transitional Justice: Narratives in a Historical Perspective”
The general goal of the NIOD program on Transitional justice is to contribute to understanding the impact and aftermath of mass state-sponsored human rights violations on post-genocidal, post-conflict, post-repressive societies. In pursuit of a conceptualization of generic mechanisms and factors that influence genocidal crimes and the subsequent transitional justice processes, this program opts for the portal of the personal, the legal, and the political narrative. It will examine the various phases and levels at which testimonies, or narratives of events, play a role in influencing the form of TJ undertaken by a given post-repressive society.
The levels may be distinguished as follows:
A dynamic multi-leveled approach that aims to reveal the interaction between the testimonies, the formality of processing them, and the developing political system should shed light on the individual, psychological, social, and political impact/consequences of TJ processes. The NIOD has created a PhD position in order to study the role, impact, and significance of testimonies in transitional justice.
Qualified candidates are invited to send a one-page proposal (max. 500 words) on the research they propose to conduct, dealing with cases, possibly a comparison of cases, connected to this general topic, within the framework of the NIOD TJ program.
