点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This project aims to explore how the unresolved issue of the missing people from the 1992-95 Bosnian conflict has affected the social identities, memories and settlement patterns of the survivors in three diaspora contexts in Australia, Sweden and The United States. The ethnographic study expects to generate new knowledge in the area of forced migration and provide understanding of the complexity of the refugee condition in the aftermath of genocide. Expected outcomes of this project include institutional and interdisciplinary collaborations, raising awareness about the missing worldwide and informing policy on migration and resettlement of refugee communities after conflict, loss and social fragmentation.
