HGR INFO RESOURCES - World Bulletin Board - Genocide Study and Prevention

GPN Genocide Prevention Now is to serve as a centralized Internet-based clearing house of information about genocide studies and its prevention in the world.

GPN offers a World Bulletin Board for Genocide Study and Prevention to advertise current and future activities of scholars, activists, centers, institutes and organizations involved in promoting an awareness of genocide and its prevention. The GPN World Bulletin Board for Genocide Study and Prevention is available for posting news of completed work including announcements of completed projects, conferences, seminars and publications. We hope to show through advertising these events that there is a common thread running through these activities regardless of their location in the world. We are especially interested in including new initiatives in genocide studies and prevention, including requests for collaboration and assistance and new projects.

Within the World Bulletin Board, GPN Genocide Prevention Now will also provide a forum for researchers and scholars to announce to their greater community of colleagues, the completion of major work. This might include, but not limited to: notices of completed projects, conferences and seminars and completed publications. As colleagues announce and share completed projects, a greater sense of awareness of each other's accomplishments will contribute and provide the means for continued growth in the interdisciplinary field of Holocaust and Genocide Studies.

We encourage and request that all scholars and students of Holocaust and Genocide Studies submit new initiatives and completed projects to GPN Genocide Prevention Now to be posted on the World Bulletin Board. Please submit all new initiatives and completed projects to:
