SES-1003372Kenneth AndrewsRaj GhoshalUniversity of North Carolina-Chapel HillThe dissertation project studies why social movements aimed at commemoration and redress have recently arisen around some instances of long-buried American white-on-black racial violence, while other incidents that appear very similar have not yet yielded such movements. To understand the development and trajectories of these memory movements the co-PI will complete three types of analyses. First, they will a analyze data set of incidents of fatal white-on-black racial violence that occurred between1877-1954 and garnered national news coverage. These data will be used to examine the factors that lead to memory-resurrection of historical racial violence. Second, the investigator will complete a formal qualitative comparative analysis to explain the divergent trajectories that those projects that have emerged have taken. Third, the co-PI will complete interviews and archival work in several Southern states in other to better understand the national rise of interest in segregation-era violence that underlies the emergence of specific projects. This project offers several broad theoretical payoffs. To date, research on the development of collective memory has been dominated by small-sample studies that have identified many potentially important causal forces, but have not investigated the relative importance of, generalizability of, or relationships between these factors more broadly. The project brings a comparative approach to this field, facilitating a more systematic understanding of the factors shaping collective memory. Further, this project helps to fill a notable research gap as one of the few studies to address local variation in the shaping of national collective memory. Broader Impacts. This research will contribute to our understanding of how commemoration movements develop and the different trajectories they take. Further, knowledge of such movements? development will be useful in understanding the potential payoffs and drawbacks of the use of memory as a strategy in promoting civil rights. The project will benefit society by contributing systematic new knowledge about the development and effects of an array of responses to historic mass racial violence.

SES-1003372 Kenneth AndrewsRaj Ghoshal北卡罗来纳大学教堂山博士论文项目研究了为什么社会运动旨在纪念和补救最近出现了一些长期埋藏的美国白人对黑人种族暴力事件，而其他事件似乎非常相似尚未产生这样的运动。 为了了解这些记忆运动的发展和轨迹，合作PI将完成三种类型的分析。 首先，他们将分析1877 -1954年间发生的白人对黑人的致命种族暴力事件的数据集，并获得全国新闻报道。 这些数据将被用来研究导致历史种族暴力记忆复活的因素。 其次，调查员将完成一个正式的定性比较分析，以解释这些项目出现的不同轨迹。 第三，共同PI将在其他几个南方州完成采访和档案工作，以更好地了解全国对种族隔离时代暴力的兴趣上升，这是具体项目出现的基础。 这个项目提供了几个广泛的理论回报。 迄今为止，关于集体记忆发展的研究一直以小样本研究为主，这些研究已经确定了许多潜在的重要因果力量，但尚未更广泛地调查这些因素的相对重要性，普遍性或这些因素之间的关系。 该项目为这一领域带来了一种比较方法，有助于更系统地了解塑造集体记忆的因素。 此外，该项目有助于填补一个显着的研究空白，作为为数不多的研究之一，以解决当地的变化，在塑造国家集体记忆。更广泛的影响。 这项研究将有助于我们了解纪念运动是如何发展的，以及它们所采取的不同轨迹。此外，了解这些运动？发展将有助于理解使用记忆作为促进公民权利的战略的潜在利弊。 该项目将为社会带来益处，系统地提供关于历史上大规模种族暴力的一系列对策的发展和影响的新知识。
