Genocide and Human Rights Webinar Series
The Genocide and Human Rights Webinar Series was created in 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, which disrupted the Institute's annual Genocide and Human Rights University Program (GHRUP). These series provide an online educational platform to engage students, scholars and the general public in emerging and pertinent issues in the field of Genocide and Human Rights Studies. Within these series, sessions have been led by leading Genocide and Human Rights Studies scholars, and have covered a range of conceptual themes and specific case studies.
