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: Education, Art, and Peace" will feature four of the world's leading experts on education, youth engagement, and art in peace work and genocide prevention. Thomas La Pointe, Nela Navarro, Patricia Maulden, and Elavie Ndura will lead a conversation on potential for art and education to transform societies in conflict, heal from past social traumas, and prevent future violence.
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.
