GRSJ Professor Dr. Pilar Riano-Alcala Memory has been annouced as the lead for the Transformative in the Afterlives of Mass Violence research cluster. Eight Arts-led research excellence clusters will be funded through the Research Excellence Clusters initiative in 2022/23. These clusters are inter-departmental networks of researchers at UBC who collectively represent leaders in a particular field of study. Clusters are recognized as either established or emerging depending on multiple factors relating to their developmental stage and funding requirements. Funding is awarded through Grants for Catalyzing Research Clusters (GCRC) competitions.
Memory as Transformative in the Afterlives of Mass Violence network is composed of a diverse, interdisciplinary group of artists, scholars (faculty and students), and practitioners who have worked together locally, regionally and globally for the past decade.
