[Bio c. 2011]
Joseph Rosen is a postdoctoral fellow in Montreal at Concordia University’s Department of History & Centre for Ethnographic Research and Exhibition in the Aftermath of Violence. Rosen’s work investigates the cultural production and deployment of collective memory in relation to contemporary sites of suffering and oppression. His dissertation, Beyond Memory: From Historical Violence to Political Alterity in Contemporary Space, developed an ethical theory of working-through traumatic cultural memory and addressed mobilizations of Holocaust memory in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Ongoing research investigates the relation between cultural memory, identity and resistance in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and develops curatorial strategies for creating public dialogues about the relations between historical trauma and present injustice.
