Founded in 2007, the Center for the Study of Genocide and Human Rights seeks to address the urgent need for greater understanding of and education about extreme human rights violations, which have resulted in mass death, suffering, dislocation, trauma, and social destruction. 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 and human rights.
