Anthropologist Natasha Zaretsky to speak on “The Futures of Memory”

In the face of political violence and injustice, societies negotiate meaning and identity through memory.

How we grapple with complicated pasts also tells a story about broader cultural values. Dr. Zaretsky will draw on her ethnographic research with Jewish Argentines to show how a community responds to the reality that perpetrators of violence may never be held accountable and engages memory as a pathway towards national belongings.
