DESCRIPTION:La Chaire Katharine A. Pearson Chair en société civile et polit
 iques publiques accueille la professeure Sarah Federman\, School of Public
  and International Affairs\, University of Baltimore\, pour une présentati
 on sur son projet de recherche en cours sur la SNCF et la responsabilité s
 ociale de cette entreprise quant à l'Holocauste.\n\nRésumé\n\n[En anglais 
 seulement] Transitional justice employs a variety of mechanisms\, includin
 g compensation\, apologies\, trials\, commemoration\, and truth seeking to
  guide societies in the aftermath of massive human rights violations. The 
 perpetrators are most often individuals\, rebel groups\, and government in
 stitutions.\n\nMore infrequently\, however\, do we consider how to address
  market actors. A study of the decades-long conflict over the French Natio
 nal Railways' (SNCF- Société nationale des chemins de fer français) role i
 n the Holocaust provides an opportunity to consider what happens when busi
 nesses are involved. The SNCF had a role in transporting over 75\,000 Jewi
 sh deportees and others towards death camps during World War II. After fif
 ty-years of the SNCF storying itself as a hero in the resistance\, survivo
 rs began to challenge\, sue\, and boycott the company - saying it needed t
 o acknowledge its role in the Holocaust as well. While debates began in Fr
 ance\, they spilled over into the United States and worked to roadblock th
 e company's efforts to do business there up through 2017. The company resp
 onded by engaging in many transitional justice practices with mixed result
 s. The company's overlapping identities of victim\, perpetrator\, and hero
  raise complicated issues at the intersection of corporate social responsi
 bility and mass atrocity. \n\nThis research is based on over 120 interview
 s (over 80 with survivors) and pro bono work with the U.S. State Departmen
 t and other groups. \n\nLa conférencière\n\n[En anglais seulement] Sarah F
 ederman is Assistant Professor in the School of Public and International A
 ffairs at the University of Baltimore. She specializes in the role of lang
 uage in conflict\, post-conflict contexts and the role of market actors in
  mass atrocity. She took up her position at University of Baltimore in 201
 7 after completing her doctorate at George Mason University’s School for C
 onflict Analysis and Resolution. Federman has also taught courses at Scien
 cesPo Lille\, Grinnell College\, and the University of Malta.\n\nConsideri
 ng the intersection of corporate behavior and conflict draws on Federman’s
  decade-long career as a senior advertising executive. Federman negotiated
  with companies throughout North America\, Europe\, the Middle East\, Afri
 ca and Asia. Some of the companies with whom she met include\; Google\, NF
 L\, Viacom\, Expedia\, Discovery and most of the world’s largest advertisi
 ng agencies. \n
