Description
This panel examines persistent and emerging challenges of everyday peace in so-called post-war environments with lingering violence. While it examines the challenges of peace in contexts with violence and legacies of violence that are unresolved, for instance enforced disappearances, continuums of gender-based violence, and population displacement, the presenters also reflect on the strategies and know-how that communities and social organizations are using to overcome obstacles. The panel examines visibility and invisibility, and how certain issue areas and groups of people may become more or less prominent over time in transitional justice and peacebuilding. The panel reflects on advances and challenges in the everyday peacebuilding agenda. It includes discussion and reflection from varying empirical case studies. It also brings in insight from other research streams, e.g. feminist peace research, trans-scalar analysis, and work on agency. The panel considers the passage of time in relation to everyday peace. It examines important dimensions of everyday peace, ranging from non-violence to memory and reconciliation.
