Professor Natalia Sobrevilla Perea will feature in “Peru – A Living Memory” on Tuesday 2 June at 19.00. This online event will be centred around Natalia’s work in Peru and forms part of the “Think Kent Discovers” series, a new documentary series highlighting pioneering research at the University of Kent.
Alongside Natalia on the panel will be M.A.Soc. Eduardo Gonzalez Cuerva, Transition Justice Expert, and Dr Ines Ruiz, Academic Research Director, School of Humanities at Universidad Cientifica del Sur in Peru.
Peru’s history dates back to the cradle of civilisation and over the millennia have seen empires rise and fall, from the mighty Incas to the Spanish conquistadors. Next year sees Peru celebrating ‘El Bicentenario’, 200 years of independence. But its recent past has been blighted with unprecedented violence and political corruption. Natalia wants to teach citizens about all aspects of the country’s history in order to create a fully realised national identity for future generations of Peruvians.
The event will start with the screening of a research documentary followed by a live panel discussion on the topic.
The series will be live streamed via Research Services YouTube channel. All events are FREE and open to all. To book your place, please visit the Eventbrite page.
