She is currently working on transitional justice and processes of memory construction of the Yugoslav wars of the s. Her school holds Beacon Status in Holocaust education and she spearheads this programme.

She has worked extensively in Rwanda, leading initiatives to provide homes, income-generating activities and education for genocide orphans. She leads a groundbreaking project which links schools and students in the UK with survivors in Rwanda. She regularly takes student groups to Poland, Bosnia and Rwanda where participating students are challenged to become active upstanders rather than indifferent bystanders when faced with human rights atrocities and the oppression of their fellow human beings.

This interest covers a wide array of topics from social work, resettlement detention to schemes for advocacy and guardianship. Andy is a history teacher at Hampton School in Middlesex where he works closely with young people who are committed to raising awareness of the Holocaust and subsequent genocides.

Hampton is a Beacon School for Holocaust Education and Andy leads on this to promote and facilitate survivor testimonies, workshops and memorial commemorations in school. Hampton pupils are also very active and have formed the nationally acclaimed genocide awareness campaign — Genocide80Twenty.

The action group includes pupils from every year group; they have visited the House of Commons and produced books and teaching resources to address the lack of awareness about genocide amongst young people.

He has a long-standing interest in religious history and completed a research Masters in sectarianism in Scotland at Edinburgh University. He organises educational community action events, previously serving as Content Director of the Telegraph Festival of Education at Wellington College, and is now an organiser of researchED Scotland.

He began working with Remembering Srebrenica in and has arranged survivor speaker tours, as well as leading pupil trips to Bosnia. His doctoral thesis considered the development of ethnic identity within 20th century Uganda.

He has published on issues surrounding ethnicity and ethno-religious conflict, and has previously taught at the Universities of Leeds and Birmingham.

Following a move out of academia, Aidan has held several positions within third sector organisations focused on community cohesion, education and social mobility. Through his prior association with the charity, Aidan has visited Srebrenica, and wider Bosnia-Herzegovina on numerous occasions. The name Srebrenica has become synonymous with those dark days in July when, in the first ever United Nations declared safe area, thousands of men and boys were systematically murdered and buried in mass graves.

Email Address [email protected]. No one has read the domestic press as closely; Gordy does not essentialize the field of public memory but rather looks for disagreement and diversity. The international community declared that an era of human rights had begun, while domestic actors hoped that the conditions that had made a violent dictatorship possible could be eliminated. More than a decade after the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia initiated the process of bringing violators of international humanitarian law to justice, significant legal precedents and facts have been established, yet considerable gaps in the historical record, along with denial and disagreements, continue to exist in the public memory of the Yugoslav wars.

Guilt, Responsibility, and Denial sets out to trace the political, social, and moral challenges that Serbia faced from onward, offering an empirically rich and theoretically broad account of what was demanded of the country's citizens as well its political leadership—and how these challenges were alternately confronted and ignored.

Eric Gordy makes extensive use of Serbian media to capture the internal debate surrounding the legacy of the country's war crimes, providing one of the first studies to examine international institutional efforts to build a set of public memories alongside domestic Serbian political reaction. In charting the legal, political, and cultural forces that shape public memory, Guilt, Responsibility, and Denial promises to become a standard resource for studies of Serbia as well as the workings of international and domestic justice in dealing with the aftermath of war crimes.
