A three-part campus-wide dialogue at the University of Arizona, “Will Today’s Global Unrest Lead to Genocide?” will examine the roots of genocide and current political discourse to reflect on the state of the world today.
Sponsored by the UA Hillel Foundation, the Holocaust History Center at the Jewish History Museum, UA Dean of Students Office, UA Office for Diversity and Inclusive Excellence, UA Department of History, and the UA School of Sociology, this free, timely series exploring the societal dynamics that have historically led to genocide will be held on Wednesdays, Sept. 14, 21, 28, 12 p.m.-1 p.m. at the UA Hillel Foundation Mountain Room, 1245 E. 2nd St.
