Posted on by Marija Marsenic

On Thursday, December 4, starting at 12 noon, the Institute of European Studies is organizing a lecture:

Prof. dr C. K. Martin Chung (Hong Kong Baptist University)

POLITICAL RECONCILIATION IN EUROPE AND THE ROLE OF RELIGIOUS ACTORS AND IDEAS

Prof. Martin Chung is an Associate Professor of Government and International Studies and Coordinator of the GIS-Sciences Po Bordeaux combined degree programme at Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU). His first monograph, Repentance for the Holocaust: Lessons from Jewish Thought for Confronting the German Past (Cornell University Press 2017) explores the role of religious ideas in German Vergangenheitsbewältigung (coming to terms with the past). His comparative study, “Twenty Years after: Statute of Limitations and the Asymmetric Burdens of Justice in Northern Ireland and Post-war Germany” (2021), has been selected by the Hansard Society to be included in the Parliamentary Affairs special collection, “Marking 25 years since the signing of the Good Friday Agreement”. His other articles have appeared in the International Journal of Transitional Justice, History & Memory, British Politics, Jahrbuch des Dubnow-Instituts and Jahrbuch für Politik und Geschichte. Chung is the principal investigator of two projects funded by Hong Kong’s Research Grants Council: “Reconciliation and Its Resentments: The Suppression of Justice and Truth Recovery in Germany, Northern Ireland, and Western Balkans” (GRF12614422, 2023-2026), and “The Politics of Antagonism Revisited: Assessing Northern Ireland’s Good Friday Agreement (1998-2018)” (ECS22612318, 2018-2022). At HKBU, he teaches “Religion and Politics”, and “Sustainable Peace: Conflict Resolution and Reconciliation of Divided Communities”, among other subjects.
