    An International Conference

    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 [email protected]
    Telephone: 310-825-3375
    FAX: 310-206-9630

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