Public consciousness regarding the Holocaust and other genocides has reached a critical juncture in American society A recent survey on Holocaust awareness revealed a fundamental lack of knowledge about the Holocaust among 18 to 39-year-old Americans At the same time, incidents of Holocaust denials, anti-Semitism, racialized violence, and significant ignorance and disregard for the Genocide visited upon Indigenous communities persist in public discourse With the regular and troubling misuse of historical comparisons by public officials and a newly invigorated ideologically driven attack on public education, we have reached a critical moment
In recognition of the importance of Holocaust, Genocide, and Violence Studies in American society, Metropolitan State University of Denver will host a conference in September 2022 We invite proposals for panels, roundtables, and papers from scholars and practitioners from all disciplines Topics that will be considered, but not limited to include:
• The Holocaust and its representations
• Comparative Genocide
• Genocide in art, literature, and film
• Holocaust and Genocide denial
• Indigenous peoples and Genocide
• Politics of memory
• Discourse of reparative justice
