The Faculty Lecture Series Committee is pleased to announce the next presentation. Please join us on February 6, 4:00-4:50 in the Humanities Forum room 6304 for history instructor Elena Reynolds' talk Genocide and the Healing Power of Recognition. Please see the attached flyer and feel free to post and distribute in your area.
Description:
The Armenian Genocide, the first genocide of the 20th century, claimed the lives of 1.5 million Armenians residing in the Ottoman Empire. This brutal annihilation and subsequent denial by its perpetrators has plagued survivors and their decedents for over one hundred years. We will examine the origins and possible motivations of the genocide as well as how its cover-up not only paved the way for future ethnic cleansing, but has also impeded healing for countless families impacted by this tragedy.
