Post-War Journalism: Telling Stories After the Guns Fall Silent
What happens when the war is “over”? Emmy Award-winning journalist and documentary filmmaker Anne Poiret explores the critical but often overlooked phase that follows armed conflicts: the after. Drawing on over a decade of field reporting from Iraq, South Sudan, and beyond, she examines how journalists can—and must—document post-war realities: the search for the missing, reconstruction efforts, transitional justice, and the long road to memory and healing.
This presentation will also introduce AFTER WAR, a multimedia initiative that aims to break down indifference towards these post-conflict periods, as well as foster greater collaboration with journalists and fixers in affected countries, and researchers specializing in these issues.
Moderated by Séverine Autesserre, Political Science.
