How do we, as societies, decide what a war means‑ I’m fascinated by the gap between the historical record and how wars live in our collective memory.
In my research on post-conflict societies, I see that the "facts" of a war are one thing, but the public narrative that emerges is another. I'm trying to understand the mechanisms—the how—by which certain interpretations of a war gain dominance in our communal consciousness while others are forgotten or silenced.
