About the Event

Join us for a talk by Prof. Laura Winkiel, exploring The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida through the lens of global human rights discourse and the complex role of the witness in times of violence and transition.

This talk will reflect on how the Booker Prize-winning novel by Shehan Karunatilaka engages with questions of memory, justice, and testimony in post-conflict Sri Lanka, situating it within broader global conversations on witnessing atrocity, truth-telling, and literature’s role in human rights struggles.

Please note that the session will be conducted in English. About the Speaker
