Corpses in Society: Human Remains in post-Genocide and Mass Violence Contexts. This third and last annual conference of the Corpses of mass violence and genocide Project aims to address the place given to the remains of victims in post-genocide and mass violence contexts. Whether reburied, concealed, stored, abandoned or publically displayed, as in Cambodia or Rwanda today, these remains indeed raise a vast number of questions regarding their legal, ethical and social uses. Download the programme. The conference is to be held at the University of Manchester, UK, 8-10 September 2014. Further information.
