The Genocide Prevention Program and The Program on History, Memory and Conflict have the great pleasure of inviting you a series of events titled: The Remembrance of Past Genocides.
The roundtable on "The Remembrance of Past Genocides: The Darfur Case" will feature two experts on genocide and peace, Dr. Daniel Rothbart and Dr. Gregory Stanton. Drawing on their personal experiences and knowledge, Rothbart and Stanton will discuss the potential of local and global politics, the law, and human rights social movements in ending genocide and bringing peace in Sudan. Joining the conversation is David Abramowitz, Vice President for Policy and Government Relations at Humanity United, and other leading human rights figures.
These interdisciplinary events entitled "The Remembrance of Past Genocide" will bring together a varied audience of stakeholders from academics, practitioners, students, and members of the S-CAR community to examine and expose the legacy and politics of various cases and aspects of past genocides that are often overlooked in traditional discussions on the topic of genocide remembrance. Therefore, they will not only be an opportunity to initiate an innovative and interactive dialogue between participants surrounding the history and memory of various cases of genocide but they shall also provide a space in which to consider how the memory of genocide and mass atrocity impacts and shapes contemporary politics.
