About
Monica Eileen Patterson is a postdoctoral fellow at the Center for Ethnographic Research and Exhibition in the Aftermath of Violence at Concordia University in Montreal. She received her Ph.D. in Anthropology and History from the University of Michigan. Her dissertation examines the contested and conflicting constructions of childhood in late apartheid South Africa, from 1976 until the early 1990s when negotiations began for the transition to democracy. Monica has conducted fieldwork and archival research in South Africa and Zimbabwe. She is also working toward a certificate in Museum Studies. Monica is particularly interested in the intersections of memory, childhood, and violence in postcolonial Africa.
