HGR INFO RESOURCES - Issue 3 Summer 2010

Are you interested in studying for a degree in Holocaust and Genocide Studies?
College and University Level Programs in Holocaust and Genocide Studies
The number of academic degree and teaching programs offered in the interdisciplinary field of Holocaust and Genocide Studies is growing throughout the world. GPN Genocide Prevention Now will regularly present profiles of individual programs so that students interested in pursuing this field will be able to further understand their options for study. Programs in Holocaust and Genocide Studies range from the only Ph.D. at Clark University in Worcester, Massachusetts (see featured program GPN Issue 2), to various MA programs, undergraduate degrees, minors, concentrations within degree programs, graduate certificate programs, and an online program. In Issue 3, we have added the Graduate Certificate in Holocaust Studies and the Graduate Diploma in Holocaust Studies offered at the University of Sydney, Australia to our directory of programs.

Note also that many colleges and universities have degree programs such as History, Political Science, and International Relations that allow students to choose a specialty in the area of Holocaust or genocide although there are no formal degrees offered in the fields of Holocaust and Genocide Studies.

GPN is also in the process of setting up a Repository of Courses in Holocaust and Genocide Studies which will include course descriptions and links to syllabi to assist people at universities and colleges who are interested in developing courses in Holocaust and Genocide studies at their institution. In a future issue, we will post descriptions of courses in Holocaust and Genocide Studies along with links to their syllabi and course readings.

We are interested in receiving information about additional university and college level programs in Holocaust and Genocide Studies that do not appear in this Directory. We also invite readers to submit information, descriptions of individual courses and syllabi at universities and colleges in Holocaust and Genocide Studies that do not support full degree programs for GPN to include in the Repository of Courses in Holocaust and Genocide Studies. Our aim is to build a full directory of programs as well as courses in our field to better inform students who choose to study the field of Holocaust and Genocide Studies.

All submissions should be sent to: Marc I. Sherman, Director, Holocaust and Genocide Review, GPN Genocide Prevention Now. E-mail: msherman.gpn@genocidepreventionnow.org
