This event is part of a virtual three-day symposium, Colombia: Peacebuilding and the Persistence of Violence, which brings together academics, practitioners, civil society and civic leaders to discuss the past, present and futures of Colombia. It sheds light on the country’s long experience with internal armed conflict, its recent effort to transition to a post-conflict stage, and the challenges and opportunities that the present juncture implies for the success of enduring peacebuilding efforts.



This panel discusses competing chronologies of peace and violence that intersect, overlap, and ultimately shape Colombia’s history. Beyond ideas of unremitting and persistent violence or extraordinary democratic stability, it sheds light on particular historical subjects and communities that defy well-established categories of peace and conflict in Colombia. It also aims to bring the “violence of chronologies” to the table, as established periods might overemphasize the experience of certain social groups, while effacing others. 

Panel featuring: 

  • Luis Van Isschot (University of Toronto)
  • Catherine LeGrand (McGill University)
  • Bastien Bosa, (Universidad del Rosario)
  • Mercedes Tunubalá Velasco (Mayor of Silvia, Cauca)

This panel will be held in Spanish and moderated by Franz Hensel & Bastien Bosa (Universidad del Rosario)
