Title: Trauma, resilience and practices of care in (post)conflict sites: A view from Lebanon
Description: This talk explores the politics of trauma, grief and resilience in Lebanon, drawing implications on the ways in which we survive and recover from violence and the ways in which we are expected to do so by psychiatric, humanitarian and state institutions.
