NEWARK, N.J.—On Oct. 21, the Center for the Study of Genocide, Conflict Resolution, and Human Rights at Rutgers University will host a lecture by Khatchig Mouradian titled “Hearing the Footsteps of Dawn: The Armenian Genocide in Modern Turkish Consciousness.”
The lecture will explore the recent developments in Turkey related to the Armenian Genocide. It will be held from 6:30-8:30 p.m. in Bove Auditorium, Engelhardt Hall, 190 University Ave. in Newark.
The Center for the Study of Genocide, Conflict Resolution, and Human Rights seeks to enhance our understanding of genocide, political violence, and protracted conflict and related mechanisms for their prevention and resolution. To this end, the center promotes cutting-edge research and scholarship, educational initiatives, workshops and seminars, outreach and commemorative programs, and international collaborations related to genocide, conflict resolution, and human rights.
Mouradian is the editor of the Armenian Weekly and a doctoral student in Holocaust and genocide studies at Clark University. Mouradian visited Turkey in March 2010 and interviewed Turkish political leaders (including Turkish President Abdullah Gul and Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu). In April, Mouradian made a second trip to Turkey, giving a commemoration lecture in Istanbul on April 24 and taking part in a symposium on the Armenian Genocide and reparations in Ankara on April 25.
