Other Peoples Shoes is a virtual discussion in a series developed by the Sri Lanka Barometer under the project Strengthening Reconciliation Processes in Sri Lanka supported by the EU and the German Federal Government.

The discussion will commence with a reading from Sunila Galappattis essay, Other Peoples Shoes: Lets not demand that people tell us stories. Galappattis essay explores the politics of listening to the narratives of those who have suffered, lost loved ones and experienced trauma in conflicts and tumultuous events in past and present Sri Lanka and the issues that arise in asking such individuals to recount their stories of trauma and loss.

The reading will be followed by a discussion between Radhika Hettiarachchi and Upali Amarasinghe.
