SUMMARY:Beyond Establishing Guilt: The Uses of Microhistory to Rethink the Yugoslav Wars
DESCRIPTION:Speakers: \n\n\n\nMax Bergholz (Professor of History at Concordia University) \n\n\n\nFedja Buric (Associate Professor of History at Bellarmine University) \n\n\n\nSandra Grudic (Program Administrator\, Educator Outreach\, Davis Center\, Harvard University) \n\n\n\nDiscussant: Markp Kljajic (Posdoctoral Fellow\, Weatherhead Research Cluster on Identity Politics) \n\n\n\nThis event explores how a micro historical approach can deepen our understanding of the Yugoslav Wars of the 1990s. Moving beyond and interpreting ICTY records and elite political accounts differently\, it foregrounds local voices and everyday experiences to illuminate the complex dynamics of conflict at the community level. By engaging with sources such as oral histories\, local archives\, and court records\, the discussion will focus on how ordinary people understood and experienced the war in ways that complicate nationalist narratives of fixed victimhood and perpetration. The workshop emphasizes the value of looking at the war “from the ground up” to reveal how communities navigated violence\, solidarity\, and survival. In doing so\, it highlights the potential of microhistory not only to challenge linear\, top-down interpretations but also to complicate the historiography of the Yugoslav Wars by centering human experiences that nationalist discourses often erase.  Thomas Kuhne will moderate the discussion.\n\n\n\nSponsored by the Strassler Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies
