Join the editors of Voice of Witness’ forthcoming book Hope Deferred:Narratives of Zimbabwean Lives and Stanford faculty members as they explore the power of narration to make human rights claims.
Peter Orner and Annie Holmes will recount the true stories collected from Zimbabwean narrators about losing their homes, land, livelihoods, and families as a direct result of political violence. Panelists will discuss the editors’ goals in publishing the book and the role of storytelling in raising awareness and improving human rights.
Hope Deferred is the first public event of Human Well-Being and Human Rights, a 2010/2011 series that will explore humanistic conceptions of human well-being that underlie definitions of, and policy responses to, human rights.
This event is co-sponsored by the Stanford Humanities Center and is open to the public. For more information or to RSVP, click here.
