Global Justice, Truth-telling and Healing Symposium Proceedings
The insights and feedback gathered at the event will guide IARA’s forthcoming report, which aspires to catalyze ongoing policy, advocacy, and community-based efforts for social change.
The Institutional Antiracism and Accountability (IARA) Project at Harvard Kennedy School recently concluded a three-year study (2021-2024) examining global truth-telling, justice, and healing efforts, such as truth commissions and tribunals. This project aimed to uncover accountability mechanisms and best practices that could inform similar initiatives in the U.S. and beyond. The culminating Symposium on Global Justice, Truth-Telling, and Healing convened 25 international and U.S. leaders, advocates, and experts to discuss findings, share experiences, and foster dialogue on advancing racial, ethnic, and Indigenous justice. The insights and feedback gathered at the event will guide IARA’s forthcoming report, which aspires to catalyze ongoing policy, advocacy, and community-based efforts for social change.
