Remembering Guantánamo: Dialogue on a century of experience and exploits

Thursday, April 28, 2011 - 9:30am - Friday, April 29, 2011 - 3:30pm
Columbia University, Morningside Campus, Jerome Greene Annex
"Remembering Guantánamo" will bring together historians, advocates, museum professionals, and others to explore Guantánamo Bay as a "state of exception" in American politics and political culture and to imagine strategies for building public awareness of Guantánamo's century-long history - its exceptional and commonplace uses and re-uses - to inspire citizen engagement in what happens there next. Through debates on broader issues and critiques of specific elements, the event will shape the next phase of the Guantánamo Public Memory Project, including a web platform, an edited volume of essays, exhibits, and curricula.
