Welcome to the UNREST blog!

The research project Unsettling Remembering and Social Cohesion and Transnational Europe has now been running for a year. In the first twelve months of our work, we have updated stakeholders on our activities via our website, our newsletters and our Facebook and Twitter feeds.
In our first year, we have held stakeholder workshops and research meetings, and have conducted detailed research at a variety of museum and exhumation sites in Germany, Spain, Poland and France. We have also been developing a museum exhibit and a theatre play which address key theoretical ideas from our project.



The Historial of the Great War in Péronne, France


As this empirical and theoretical work continues over the next two years, we will be sharing our research findings with the general public, with stakeholders, and with other researchers. This blog will provide a showcase for that research in progress, which will lead to publications in academic journals, new digital tools, our museum exhibit and both a live and a video-recorded version of the play we will produce.
