JALA TSEBO SEMINAR SERIES
=The Legacy of Suffering=


 * Constitution Hill** and the **Centre for the Study of Violence and Reconciliation** invite you to a panel discussion on the **Legacy of Suffering** caused by atrocity and a repressive past. Through case studies from Argentina and South Africa, panelists will explore the tensions between interventions at the level of the individual and social and the questions these raise about the nature of transition, conflict and peace within contemporary society.
