Abstract for Online Program Book (maximum 150 words)
In this roundtable discussion, scholars from a variety of institutions will reflect on how they teach the history and politics of genocide at time when the federal government is withholding research money and requiring vetting of university courses. How do we teach the topic of genocide with integrity and academic rigor in politically polarized classrooms, especially when accusations of genocide may be met with intimidation by law enforcement? Scholars will reflect on their pedagogical strategies that keep in mind student learning, university missions, and ongoing debates over free speech and inquiry.
