Pluralising the local in transitional justice

Abstract

Efforts to decolonize transitional justice research increasingly recognize the role and plurality of local voices and spaces as dynamic transitional justice actors. This panel brings together papers exploring the diversity of ‘the local’ within transitional justice. Individually, and together, these examinations of the timing, positionality, participants, and providers of transitional justice across contexts significantly advances epistemological and empirical approaches to the relationship between theory and practice within the turn towards the local in transitional justice.
