For all the attention on conflict zones, whether through political debate, social commentary, or a flood of hot takes on social media, there is often relatively little high-quality empirical data about the experiences of people living through the conflict. How exactly are people affected by conflict and violence? How do people remember and memorialise events? Does this hold across time, geographies, and sociodemographic groups? And what does all of this mean for policies regarding, say, justice and reconciliation? Here, qualitative interviews can give rich insight.
