Public consciousness regarding the Holocaust and other genocides has reached a critical juncture in American society. A recent survey revealed a fundamental lack of knowledge about the Holocaust and significant disregard of genocide including Indigenous communities persist. In recognition of the importance of Holocaust, Genocide, and violence studies in American society, MSU Denver will host a conference in September 2022. We invite proposals for panels, roundtables, and papers from scholars and practitioners from all disciplines. Topics that will be considered, but not limited to include:
- The Holocaust and its representations
Comparative Genocide
Genocide in art, literature, and film
Holocaust and Genocide denial
Indigenous peoples and Genocide
Politics of memory
Discourse of reparative justice
Public Monuments
- This conference will be organized as a series of roundtables, panels, and keynotes in order to promote critical thinking and discussion in a forum that will allow experts to engage and stimulate meaningful conversations with a broader public. Please submit a presentation abstract (500 words maximum) and a one-page CV for each presenter. We prefer complete panels but individuals are welcome and encouraged to submit proposals.
- Deadline: April 1, 2022.
