(h) Curriculum Development: 2008‐ 2013 2010‐2014
Reconstructing Historical Memory in Conflict Zones. I coordinated the development of a curriculum and pedagogical vision for the Colombian Commission of Historical Memory. This work provided the basis for the development (in collaboration with professors M.N. Bello and M. E. Wills) of a resource toolkit on historical memory work entitled “Remembering and Narrating Conflict. Tools to Reconstruct Historical Memory.” This material has circulated widely in Colombia and is currently used by the researchers at the National Centre for Historical Memory and by hundreds of community groups.
The toolkit, “Remembering and Narrating Conflict,” was very well received in Colombia and it was suggested by one of our international advisors that this curriculum and resource material could also be useful to those doing memory work in other contexts of violence. The final product in English and Spanish as well as the full curriculum can be found at: http://reconstructinghistoricalmemory.com/. The National Center of Historical Memory in Colombia published the book with this global resource in Spanish and English in 2013.
Pilar Riaňo-Alcalá Page 8
2003‐2006
Evaluating Citizenship Communication for Social Change. I developed the curriculum and course content and trained thirty participants in conducting qualitative evaluation of national initiatives of communication for peace and change. Training took place in 2003 in the city of Barranquillla, Colombia and the project was coordinated by Dr. Clemencia Rodriguez, Professor, Oklahoma University; Jahir Vega, Associate Professor, University of Atlantico, Amparo Cadavid, Assistant Professor Universidad Javeriana, and Pilar Riaño‐Alcalá.

(h) Consultant (indicate organization and dates) 2006 ‐ 2010 New Public Consortia for Metropolitan Governance in Brazil. Project funded by the Canadian International
Development Agency. The project examines how municipal, state, federal bodies and city residents can work together to tackle poverty and improve conditions for people living in the peripheries of Brazil's metropolitan areas. The project will contribute to formation of innovative inter‐jurisdictional structures (public consortia) for planning land use, social programs and policies, and delivery of services in the metropolitan areas of Belo Horizonte, Fortaleza, Recife, Santarém and Santo André. Lessons learned from these initiatives will help Brazil to develop guidelines for forming and managing public consortia throughout the country. I am one of the UBC leaders in this project.

19 Given the public/official function of the Commission of the Historical Memory, authors of the books written for the Commission appear as rapporteurs and not as authors. Each published book had a three steps peer review process: a) three lead researchers of the Commission and the Chair reviewed a first final version; b) a group of at least four national and international experts (academics, professionals) reviewed a second version; c) members of the community or affected group and other local experts reviewed a final version. Editorial Taurus is one of the leading publishers of academic books in Colombia, Latin America and Spain.
