New Initiatives in Genocide Studies and Prevention
Programs and Courses on the Holocaust and Genocide
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 is pleased to present profiles of individual programs so that students interested in pursuing this field will be able to further understand their options for study.
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 future issues, 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 fuller 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
Each month, GPN will highlight a specific program to further enable people to explore opportunities for degrees and courses in the field of Holocaust and Genocide Studies.
