Junior researchers from the Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute, Satenik Matosyan and Anna Kazaryan, took part in the Zoryan Institute’s Genocide and Human Rights University Program at the University of Toronto from 28 July to 8 August. This year’s program brought together researchers from 11 countries.
Over the ten-day program, participants explored the origins and development of human rights, theories and definitions of genocide, the psychology of perpetrators, the study of the Armenian Genocide, and the evolution of international law. Case studies also included the Holocaust, the Rwandan genocide, and genocides affecting Indigenous peoples in North America.
The Armenian Genocide segment was taught by Dr. Suren Manukyan, Head of the V. Dadryan Department of Comparative Genocide Studies at the Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute. Discussions with participants also addressed the situation in Artsakh.
