The Glendale Public Library and the National Association for Armenian
Studies and Research (NAASR) will present a panel discussion on `The
State of Armenian Genocide Research and Future Needs ' on Tuesday,
June 14, at 7 p.m. at the Glendale Central Library, 22 Harvard Street
(2nd floor), Glendale, CA 91205. The discussion will feature Prof.
Richard G. Hovannisian, AEF Chair in Modern Armenian History,
University of California, Los Angeles; Prof. Taner Akçam,
Kaloosdian/Mugar Chair in Modern Armenian History and Armenian
Genocide Studies, Clark University; Prof. Vahram L. Shemmassian,
Director, Armenian Studies Program, California State University,
Northridge; and Marc A. Mamigonian, Director of Academic Affairs,
NAASR.
This special event will build on the April 2010 workshop `The State of
the Art of Armenian Genocide Research: Historiography, Sources, and
Future Directions,' held at the Strassler Center for Holocaust and
Genocide Studies at Clark University and organized and co-sponsored by
Kaloosdian/Mugar Chair Taner Akçam, Eric Weitz, the Distinguished
McKnight University Professor of History and Arsham and Charlotte
Ohanessian Professor, College of Liberal Arts, University of
Minnesota, and the National Association for Armenian Studies and
Research.
The Clark workshop attempted to assess known resources and where the
scholarship stands and to create a serious discussion around the main
problems and the fundamental questions of the field.
Among the topics to be touched on are: How has the field of Armenian
Genocide Studies evolved and what have been the paradigm shifts in
explaining the genocide? Can we speak of different models of
explaining the genocide? What is the place of Armenian Genocide
research within general genocide research and within Armenian Studies?
What is the state of some of the key archival sources? How much work
has been done on them, and have they been viewed in relation to each
other? What are the future research goals and perspectives that should
be aimed for?
NAASR's co-sponsorship of the workshop and this panel discussion are
supported by a generous contribution from Mrs. Marie Broussalian in
memory of her late husband, Dr. Vartkes Broussalian, NAASR Board
Member (1991-2003).
