A paper was presented by Anouk Ride on behalf of the research tea
m including Dr Diane Bretherton and Dr Asha Bedar on the effects of sentimentality on natural disasters (particularly in the case of the Pakistan earthquake) to the Trauma and Sentimentality Symposium recently held by the Public Memory Research Centre of the University of Southern Queensland.
This diverse symposium included researchers from many different fields including psychology, sociology, cultural studies and history and elicited many discussions on broadening perspective on trauma and sentimentality. A publication featuring papers from the symposium will be released shortly.
Hi – I’m a post-grad student at UQ doing some research into media and disaster coverage – if you could please notify me when the papers are published that would be most appreciated. Thanks.
