 February 17, 2011
| Time: | 4-10 p.m. |
| Description: | On the occasion of Texas Performing Arts' presentation of the National Theatre of Scotland's award-winning theatre piece, "Black Watch," the Bernard and Audre Rapoport Center for Human Rights and Justice announces its seventh annual conference, "Aftershocks: Legacies of Conflict," to take place on Feb. 17-18. Pulitzer Prize-winning author Lawrence Wright will deliver the keynote address.
The keynote will be followed by a pre-show panel with playwright Gregory Burke and a performance of "Black Watch" at Bass Concert Hall. The conference convenes an interdisciplinary group of scholars to explore some of the same intersections of violence, colonial past, memory and trauma invoked by the play, as well as the unique role that performance might play in the analysis. It will consider these issues in a variety of geographic spaces and places, with a special emphasis on the legal and political regimes that are meant to preserve memory while also transitioning into post-conflict. |
| Location: | UT School of Law until 6:30 p.m.; Bass Concert Hall from 6:45 p.m. |
