After Nine Decades: The Enduring Legacy of the Armenian Genocide

CALL FOR PAPERS
Please Submit Proposals by December 1, 2004

University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA)
April 2-3, 2005

Dear Colleagues:

The year 2005 marks the 90th anniversary of the onset of the Armenian
Genocide. Commemorative events, including a number of conferences, will
be held in many locations around the world. It is fitting that such a
conference should be held in Southern California.

I am interrupting the ongoing UCLA semi-annual conference series on
Historic Armenian Cities and Provinces to organize a conference on the
Enduring Legacy of the Armenian Genocide, to be held on the UCLA campus
on the Saturday and Sunday, April 2-3, 2005.

Presentations will be made in thematic panels, such as (but not limited to):

– Evolving Historiography and Understanding of the Armenian Genocide;
– Dynamics of State-Sponsored versus Independent Turkish Historiography;
– Armenian Genocide in the Arts and Literature;
– Armenian Genocide in Education;
– Gender, Age, and Genocide;
– Medical, Psychological, and Trans-Generational Aspects;
– Religion, Ethics, and Genocide;
– Political and Moral Aspects of Denial and Remembrance;
– Armenian Genocide in Comparative Perspective;
– Impact of the Genocide on Foreign Relations of the Republic of Armenia;
– Models for Armenian-Turkish Dialogue and Movement toward Conciliation.

Proposals for organized panels of three or four papers around a
particular theme are most welcome.

Please submit by December 1 proposals or abstracts of 300-400 words for
individual papers and of 500 words for organized panel with three or
more participants.

Kindly send them to me by e-mail at Hovannis@history.ucla.edu
Telephone: 310-825-3375
FAX: 310-206-9630

For persons so requiring, there will be partial funding available for
travel and local accommodations.
