UCLA TO HOST CONFERENCE ON ARMENIAN GENOCIDE CENTENARY
March 11, 2015 - 11:35 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - From April 10-11, 2015, the Richard Hovannisian
Endowed Chair in Modern Armenian History at UCLA [established by the
Armenian Educational Foundation] will hold a conference to commemorate
the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide.
The event is co-sponsored by the Gustave Von Grunebaum Center for Near
East Studies (UCLA), the UCLA Center for European and Eurasian Studies,
as well as the UCLA Department of History. It will involve two days
of panels featuring an international cast of world-renowned scholars,
as well as an evening of keynote speakers and a small concert at
UCLA's Schoenberg Hall, a press release said.
Professors Richard G. Hovannisian, Ronald Grigor Suny, and
Istanbul-based public intellectual and academic Murat Belge will each
provide their reflections with musical interludes by the Armenian
Music Ensemble of UCLA under the direction of Movses Poghossian.
One of the concerns that threads together the different academic
panels on the genocide is to embed the Armenian-Ottoman tragedy
within the larger contexts of world or global history, emphasizing
the comparative and connective aspects of this defining event in the
historical trajectories of Armenians, Turks, and others in the course
of a "century of genocides."
Participating scholars include Norman Naimark, Donald Bloxham, Jay
Winter, Dirk Moses, Richard Hovannisian, Gary Bass, Gerard Libaridian,
Donald Miller, Bulent Bilmez, Bedross Der Matossian, Ugur Umit Ungör,
Janet Klein, Ruken Å~^engul, Murat Yildiz, Sossie Kasbarian, Dzovinar
Derderian, and others.
