International Conference on the Holocaust Perpetrators and Justice to be Held at Clark
Wednesday, March 22, 2017
The conference, titled Emerging Expertise: Holding Accountability Accountable, will take place from April 6 to April 9 and is free and open to the public.
The Conference
The conference favors emerging scholars and practitioners.
Presenters from 15 countries will present papers that address a wide breadth of cases, and their disciplinary perspectives and professional affiliations range across the spectrum.
Scholars from Harvard University, Oxford University, and Nipissing University in Ontario will respond to the broad themes that emerge over the course of the three day conference.
Including lectures, Holding Accountability Accountable will include eight sessions (closed to the public) that put a diverse array of scholars, lawyers, policymakers, and practitioners working on issues germane to the aftermath of mass violence into conversation with one another.
Lectures
The conference will begin with a keynote lecture, “The Armenian Genocide, the Holocaust, and the Study of Human Rights Reparations: A Way to Achieve Accountability. The Case of Argentina,” by human rights lawyer Andrea Gualde, at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, April 6, in the Higgins Lounge at Dana Commons.
Gualde is the Senior Advisor for Latin America at the Auschwitz Institute for Peace and Reconciliation and a professor of International Jurisdiction at Di Tella University in Buenos Aires.
Starting at 4:30 p.m. on Saturday, April 8, journalist, author, and policy analyst David Rieff will talk about his most recent book, “In Praise of Forgetting: Historical Memory and its Ironies.”
Rieff argues that remembering the past has done little to avert violence and in some cases fuels further conflict. Rieff’s lecture also will take place in the Higgins Lounge.
