Restless Spirits and Human Remains: Life, Death, and Justice in Post-War Northern Uganda
Co-chaired by Tricia M. Redeker Hepner, Associate Professor, Department of Anthropology, University of Tennessee – Knoxville, and by Dawnie Wolfe Steadman, Professor, Department of Anthropology, University of Tennessee – Knoxville.
Post-war northern Uganda is a vast and haunted graveyard. Tens of thousands were killed by rebels or military during the 1986-2006 conflict between the Lord’s Resistance Army and the government. The seminar’s anthropological team explored how different burial scenarios (mass graves, displacement camp graves, and unknown remains) affected survivors.
