UNCG-SAL PAGE OF LANDMINE VICTIM MEMORIALIZATION LINKS

Lately, as the faculty advisor of UNCG-Students Against Landmines, I have been looking into the issue of landmine memorializations. My researches at this stage are very preliminary (that means I don't know much), but I have learned enough to determine that this line of research will be useful to anti-landmine activists on campuses.

My researches are by necessity confined to those landmine victim memorials that are created by the landmine-banning community as psychological weapons in the crusade against landmines. Memorializations such as these are often staged events, classroom projects, or internet web pages. Their purposes are media and public relations, education, and the influence of legislation.
