Call for Papers: "In the Name of Conscience": An Emerging Scholars Conference on Genocide, Mass Atrocity, and Human Rights
The society of students in the Master of Arts in Holocaust and Genocide Studies (MAHG) Program at Stockton University would like to invite graduate students in English at Villanova University to submit presentation proposals for an emerging scholars conference we are organizing for Tuesday, March 27, 2018.
"In the Name of Conscience": An Emerging Scholars Conference on Genocide, Mass Atrocity, and Human Rights aims to provide students enrolled in a Master’s level program or students enrolled in the first years of a doctoral degree program the opportunity to present their research interests in a formal conference setting. Participants may submit proposals for papers or for general presentations. All accepted paper proposals will be chosen for presentations during the conference.
The theme of this year’s conference is “The Global Impact of Genocide.” Preferably, proposal topics should be related to the overall theme, but applicants should feel comfortable submitting proposals related to the general subjects of genocide, mass atrocity, or human rights. The theme of each panel session will be determined based on the proposals that are selected for presentation. Faculty members of the Holocaust and Genocide Studies Program at Stockton University will moderate each panel session.
The conference will take place on Tuesday, March 27, 2018 at Stockton University, 101 Vera King Farris Drive, Galloway, NJ 08205. Dr. Alexander Alvarez, Ida E. King Distinguished Visiting Professor in Holocaust Studies at Stockton University & Professor of Criminology and Criminal Justice at Northern Arizona University, will give the keynote address.
If your are interested in participating, please send an abstract with title (1 page max) and short biography (1 page max) to Sarah Albertson (Sarah.Albertson@stockton.edu) by February 16, 2018 with the subject line: Proposal for “In the Name of Conscience.” In the body of the email, include your name, graduate program or major, university, and email address. Panel proposals will also be considered.

As always, remember that if you decide to submit proposals to any conferences, be sure to consider applying for funding. See the Graduate Studies Office’s webpage on Conference Travel Funding. And remember that you have to apply for the funding before you attend the conference. (In recent years, the funding has tended to run out early in the spring semester.)
