ANNOUNCING NEW JOURNAL: GENOCIDE STUDIES INTERNATIONAL
http://www.armradio.am/en/2014/03/27/announcing-new-journal-genocide-studies-international/
12:16 27.03.2014
The Zoryan Institute and its division, the International Institute
for Genocide and Human Rights Studies, are introducing Genocide
Studies International, the continuation of publishing efforts by
the International Institute for Genocide and Human Rights Studies
(A Division of the Zoryan Institute) ("IIGHRS") and the University
of Toronto Press since 2006.
This peer-reviewed journal, edited by the team of Maureen
Hiebert, Herbert Hirsch, Roger W. Smith, and Henry Theriault, is
interdisciplinary and comparative in nature. It welcomes submissions
on individual case studies, thematic approaches, and policy analyses
that relate to the history, causes, impact, aftermath, and all other
aspects of genocide.
Armenians around the world recognize the first-hand impacts of
genocide, and from that vantage point understand better than most the
incredible need for genocide prevention to be encouraged, developed,
and legislated. Thefirst issue of GSI will be concerned with "The
Failure of Prevention," focusing on Sudan--Darfur, the Nuba Mountains
crisis --and on the politics of prevention or the lack thereof. The
March 2015 issue will focus on the 100th anniversary of the Ottoman
Genocide of Armenians, Assyrians, and Greeks.
"I hope that we can accomplish two things that go beyond the
typical academic fare. First, I hope that the work published will
have a policy dimension and value that can have an effect on actual
genocide prevention. Second, I hope that we can identify and publish
truly innovative work that is not just mere academic filler, but
that presents genuinely new ideas about genocide and provides new
frameworks that will change, in a positive way, how we approach the
problem," editor Henry Theriault said.
