Upcoming Talk:

The Scientific Search for the Disappeared, International Experiences


Speaker: Dr. Luis Fondebrider (Heads the Argentine Forensic Anthropology Team)

The Vivian and David Campbell Conference Facility, 1 Devonshire Place, Toronto

The application of Forensic Sciences to the investigation of cases of
political/ethnic/religious violence involving the disappearances and
killings of persons began in Argentina in 1984, and since then the
practice has spread to nearly 40 countries around the world, meeting
with various degrees of success.
After more than 30 years of such investigations in the Balkans, Latin
America (mainly in Argentina, Guatemala, Colombia, Peru and Chile),
Africa and Asia, the concrete practice has shown that these kinds of
cases are quite different from the ordinary criminal and mass
disasters investigations.
There is a need to investigate these cases, and similarly those
related to Migrants or Indigenous people targeted in different parts
of the world, in a multidisciplinary way. Experience has shown the
complexity of the process, where bodies usually are hidden, and that
there is a lack of co-operation on the part of both the authorities
and the perpetrators.
This presentation will comment on concrete experiences from the field,
leading with some of the issues mentioned above.

Speaker: Dr. Luis Fondebrider heads the EAAF (Argentine Forensic
Anthropology Team) http://eaaf.typepad.com/.

The Argentine Forensic Anthropology Team (Equipo Argentino de
Antropología Forense, EAAF) is a non-governmental, not-for-profit,
scientific organization that applies forensic sciences – mainly
forensic anthropology and archaeology – to the investigation of human
rights violations in Argentina and worldwide. EAAF was established in
1984 to investigate the cases of at least 9,000 disappeared people in
Argentina under the military government that ruled from 1976-1983.
Today, the team works in Latin America, Africa, Asia and Europe.

Upcoming Seminar

Indigenous Cartographies
Tuesday June 9th 6-8pm
UCL Urban Lab, London UK




Indigenous Cartographies
Tuesday June 9th 6-8pm at UCL Urban Lab.
In this seminar we will look at how extreme cartography can become a
means of resistance challenging the prerogatives of power and
re-asserting historical entitlements to land and landscape. Reaching
from the Inuit trails in the far Arctic to work with hunter-gatherers
in central Africa these two presentations revise dominant notions of
land and ownership.

Michael Bravo (biog)
Envisioning Inuit Homelands with Trails and Tracks: a Discussion of
the Pan-Inuit Atlas

Michael is based at the Scott Polar Research Institute. He is
co-editor of 'Narrating the Arctic: A Cultural History of Nordic
Scientific Practices (2002)' with Sverker Sörlin, and 'Arctic
Geopolitics and Autonomy (2011)' with Nicola Triscott . His current
project is producing the 'Pan-Inuit Trails Atlas' which trace the
nomadic tracks of Inuit peoples as chronicled by decades of travellers
and explorers in the Arctic regions of Northern Canada. The Atlas
focuses on historical written evidence of Inuit presence across the
Canadian Arctic. It contains material obtained from hundreds of
published and unpublished documents produced by explorers,
ethnographers and other visitors who were in contact with Inuit during
the early contact period or shortly before Inuit moved to permanent
settlements.

Jerome Lewis (biog)
Using Maps to Create a Third Space in Which to Contest Power:
Experiences From the Extreme Citizen Science Group UCL

Jerome currently co-directs the Extreme Citizen Science Group at UCL.
He is also co-director of UCL's Environment Institute, Director of the
Cultures of Sustainability section and a Director of Anthroscape Ltd.

He has been working to support Pygmy hunter-gatherers defend their
land and rights since 1993. As a co-director of the ExCiteS research
group he works on the participatory development and testing of iconic
interfaces for smartphones and intelligent mapping applications
designed to address problems identified by forest people in Central
Africa and support them to document and analyse the issues they face
with logging companies, poachers and conservation law enforcers.
He has just completed editing 'The Social Origins of Language' with
Dan Dor and Chris Knight, forthcoming from Oxford University Press.
