The International Association of Genocide Scholars is a global, interdisciplinary, non-partisan organization that seeks to further research and teaching about the nature, causes, and consequences of genocide, and advance policy studies on prevention of genocide. The Association, founded in 1994, meets biennially to consider comparative research, important new works, case studies, the links between genocide and gross human rights violations, and prevention and punishment of genocide. The aim of the Association is to focus more intensively on questions of genocide than is possible in the existing two-hour format of most conferences and to draw colleagues from different disciplines into an interdisciplinary conversation.
Membership is open to scholars, graduate students, and other interested persons worldwide.
The Association is an autonomous affiliate of The Institute for the Study of Genocide. For membership information, contact the Secretary-Treasurer, Dr. Steven Jacobs . All rights reserved.
