Dr. Murtaugh Coleman chaired a panel and presented on human rights in Austria this summer

Posted by Katrina Maggiulli on September 7, 2024

A woman with dark hair holding a coffee standing behind a podium laughs as she speaks.Dr. Diana Murtaugh Coleman presented a paper and chaired a panel at the Second Graz/Puerto Rico International Conference on Human rights from an Inter-American Perspective: Camps, Carceral Imaginaries, and Critical Interventions at the University of Graz in Austria this summer. Her paper, “I Pity the Country, I Pity the State”: The Encamped, the de-Camped, and the Uniformed Through Lines” sketched connections between labor camps, protest encampments, detention camps, and encampments of the displaced/unhoused in the Americas through intersecting lines of extraction, militarism, securitization and climate change. Dr. Coleman also chaired the “Guantanamo: What’s Next?/Human Rights: What to do?” panel with former Guantanamo detainees: Moazzam Begg (Enemy Combatant: My Imprisonment at Guantanamo, Bagram, and Kandahar), Mohamedou Ould Slahi (Guantanamo Diary, The Mauritanian, and The Actual True Story of Ahmed and Zarga), Mansoor Adayfi (Don’t Forget us Here: Lost and Found at Guantanamo), and Abdul Latif Nasser (Radio Lab “The Other Latif”), Sufiyan Barhoumi, and CIA rendition and torture victim, Khalid al Masri.
