Remembering Rightly, Remembering Wrongly: the Role of Memory in Breaking the Cycle of Violence | Professor Miroslav Volf | Rossing Center | 31/07/2024 What is the relationship between memory and violence? How do we remember rightly and how do we remember wrongly? And how does memory play a role in the cycle of violence? These questions are just some of what the Rossing Center's webinar series addresses in our quest for peacebuilding and dialogue. Following our webinars on the contexts in Rwanda and the North of Ireland, we will delve into the context in the Balkans. Professor Volf's bibliography reflects both his dedication to Protestant theology and his tenure as a practitioner of interfaith dialogue. His book Exclusion and Embrace: A Theological Exploration of Identity, Otherness, and Reconciliation is a reflection of the ethnic cleansing and sectarian violence in Yugoslavia, winning the University of Louisville's Grawemeyer Award for his theological deconstruction and analysis of his own personal experiences. In his book Allah: A Christian Response, Professor Volf explores the similarities and connections between Islam and Christianity and the many precedents and theological mandates for both communities to live together in harmony. Professor Volf is also the Founding Director of the Yale Center for Faith and Culture.
