Undergraduate Concentration
The Holocaust prompted the slogan, “Never again!” Tragically, efforts to make this slogan a reality did not prevent subsequent genocides or other large-scale human rights violations around the world. Concerted efforts by scholars, policymakers, and activists, however, have done much to uncover the processes that contribute to such paroxysms of mass violence, improve understandings of the forms these atrocities take as well as the diverse ways people and societies respond to them, and what actions might prevent their reoccurrence in the future. As a concentrator, you can be part of these efforts! With that goal in mind, the undergraduate concentration in Genocide and Human Rights provides students with the foundational knowledge and skills that inform work in this critically important interdisciplinary field. Relevant courses are offered in a range of departments: history, literature, political science, international development, sociology, and psychology, among others.
For more information, please visit the Genocide and Human Rights Studies Department’s website.
