Join us for a talk by Dr. Vjollca Krasniqi, titled "Gender and the Politics of Remembrance."

Vjollca Krasniqi is professor of sociology and gender at the University of Prishtina in Kosovo. Krasniqi's research examines gender, transitional justice, memory, social history, and life in post-war Kosovo. She is a co-founder of the University Program for Gender Studies and Research and serves in leadership roles with several regional and international organizations, including the East European Sub-Regional Association of Schools of Social Work and Save the Children Kosovo.

Just before she arrives at UGA, Krasniqi will deliver the annual Hokenstad International Lecture at Council on Social Work Education's 72nd Annual Conference in Atlanta. Krasniqi's publications include Human Rights in this Age of Uncertainty: Social Work Approaches and Practices from Southeast Europe, which she co-edited with UGA's own Jane McPherson. 

This lecture is cosponsored by The Willson Center for Humanities and the Arts, the School of Social Work, the Institute for Women's and Gender Studies, and the School of Public and International Affairs.
