Erin Mosely
Erin Mosely is an assistant professor of history at the University of Maryland. She specializes in modern East and Central Africa with a thematic focus on human rights and transitional justice. Erin is currently working on her first book, provisionally entitled “The Future of Rwanda’s Past: History and Historians After Genocide.” This project, which draws on fieldwork carried out between 2011-2018, examines the impact of the 1994 genocide on the Rwandan historical field, with a particular emphasis on the experiences of the country’s academic historians. She is also working on an article based on one of the key sites of analysis in her book, the Kigali Genocide Memorial Center—Rwanda’s flagship commemorative space and museum. Beyond its memorial, educational, and archival functions, this Center also happens to be a thriving social enterprise, which uses the revenue it generates to support genocide survivors in need. As such, it has emerged as a fascinating case study of the possibilities and challenges entailed in applying socially minded entrepreneurship to help heal and rebuild a nation after mass violence.
