Join us for a panel discussion with Andrea Cayley, Executive Director of the Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law’s Washington D.C. Programs, and Jelena Subotic, Professor in the Department of Political Science at Georgia State University, on “Truth, Memory, and Reconciliation in the Balkans: An EU Agenda?”
Andrea Matačić Cayley worked for two decades as a lawyer with the United Nations. She began her career as a UN liaison officer to the US Congress, then spent 15 years in the Hague working in the Office of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia and 4 years in Cambodia working on prosecutions of the Khmer Rouge. Cayley has published numerous articles concerning the prosecution of war crimes and human rights violations.
Jelena Subotić writes broadly about international relations theory, memory politics, human rights, transitional justice, international ethics, state identity, and the politics of the Western Balkans. Her prize-winning book, Yellow Star, Red Star: Holocaust Remembrance after Communism was published by Cornell University Press in 2019. The book explains how East European countries after the collapse of communism pursued new strategies of Holocaust remembrance where the memory, symbols, and imagery of the Holocaust became appropriated to represent crimes of communism.
