Trauma Workshop details.

The workshop will gather for two days scholars who have been concerned in recent years with the specific subject of trauma in the context of mass atrocity and extreme forms of violence. If you are interested in attending the sessions please contact Maria Acosta at the Philosophy Department (macostal@depaul.edu) to make sure you receive the papers in advance.
