Religion, Holocaust, and Genocide Unit and Religions, Social Conflict, and Peace Unit

For a co-sponsorship, we welcome proposals that engage in discussions about genocide in the context of the 30th anniversary of the Rwanda Genocide. Proposals can include one or more of the following:

• Narratives and commemorations of genocides in Rwanda and Africa.
• The role of Western powers in the genocides "in the margins."
• Comparison and relations between genocides at "Centers" and in the "Margins."
• Interrogation peacebuilding and/or reconciliation in the Global South.
• The legacies of western colonialism in the genocides in Africa.
• The opportunity/problems of comparisons between the genocide in Rwanda and other genocides.
• Afro-American thought and genocides in the Caribbean and Africa.
