ERC Starting Grant received for Daniela Alaattinoğlu’s MARCEN
The research project ‘From the Margin to the Centre: Rights Development, Transitional Justice and Indigeneity in the Nordics (MARCEN)’, led by PI Daniela Alaattinoğlu, has received the prestigious European Research Council (ERC) Starting Grant. The project will investigate legal inclusion and exclusion mechanisms, focusing on the Nordic Sámi Peoples and a comparison of the contemporary Truth and Reconciliation Commissions in Norway, Sweden and Finland. The core idea behind the project is that while the consequences of legal exclusion and inclusion are known, we need to better understand the socio-legal mechanisms that lead to legal inclusion and exclusion.
