Reconstructing a Nation:
Lingering Tensions in Bosnia and Herzegovina
Friday, September 7
2 pm
Wyatt 301


Kammi Sheeler, a Politics & Government Alumna (’11) and Fulbright scholar, will discuss the current political and ethnic dynamics of Bosnia and Herzegovina based on her research and travel experience in the region.  Nearly seventeen years after the Dayton Peace Agreement ended the Bosnian War, the fundamental questions of identity, legitimacy, and allegiance that drove the war remain unanswered.  Kammi will overview the ongoing divisions and the conflicting perspectives at play in modern Bosnian politics.  She will also discuss the international community’s role in efforts to consolidate Bosnia as an independent, united state.
