The Cultural Trauma and Recovery Project

The Cultural Trauma and Recovery Project studies how communities experience and heal from collective traumatic events—such as colonization, displacement, or violence—that impact their identity and well-being. It explores how shared trauma affects cultural traditions, narratives, and societal structures, and seeks ways to promote resilience and recovery. By understanding these processes, the project aims to support communities in reclaiming their cultural heritage, fostering healing, and strengthening their sense of identity and continuity after collective hardships.
