The GIRES-Global Institute for Research, Education & Scholarship is organizing the international conference "Genocides, Deportations and Massacres: Experiences, (hi)stories and interpretations" online on November 14th and 15th.
This conference aims to analyze and discuss various mass atrocities including genocides, ethnic-cleansings, massacres, and forced deportations. It wishes to explore the newest research on these topics, examine the past, analyze the present, and contemplate the future.
The conference hopes to answer a spectrum of questions through exploration of their multiple aspects. What are the semantics and limitations in characterizing or labeling such cases? Are international organizations able to face such challenges, what is the role of the international community and how effective is it? What lessons can we learn from the past; what are the shared roots, causes and prospects? How is modern global citizenship shaped? Are equality and freedom in the 21st century only a faded dream?
