The Center for the Transdisciplinary Research of Violence, Trauma and Justice (VITRI)
VITRI was established within the generous support from the Charles University Research Center of Excellence grant scheme in January 2018. One of the primary aims of VITRI is to inspire collaboration within divergent disciplines and encourage emerging academics and advanced doctoral students to tackle herein investigated questions from medical and historical to political and legal perspectives. Members of VITRI focuse on four major areas of research: Violence from a Historical Perspective, Transitional Justice, Violence and Trauma from a Mental Health Perspective, Security Community
VITRI is a joint project of five faculties of the Charles University, the leading university in the region, namely the Faculty of Social Sciences (with the Institute of Political Studies and Institute of Area Studies representing the backbone of the project), the Faculty of Medicine in Pilsen (Psychiatric Clinic and the Institute of Pathological Physiology), and the Law Faculty (Department of Legal History). Juniors from the Faculty of Arts (Institute of Global History) and the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics (Malach Center for Visual History) complement our team.
