The Institute for Holocaust, Genocide, and Memory Studies at the University of Massachusetts Amherst is a locus for research and teaching on the Holocaust, genocides, and events of mass violence as well as on the memory and representation of these historical occurrences.

The Graduate History Association is honoured to announce that Professor James E. Young will be presenting the keynote address for our annual conference. This richly-illustrated presentation will be based on his most recent book, The Stages of Memory: Reflections on Memorial Art, Loss, and the Spaces Between.

IHGMS will host two events in conjunction with the publication of the new book co-edited by Bashir Bashir and Amos Goldberg, The Holocaust and the Nakba: A New Grammar of Trauma and History (Columbia University Press, 2018)

Each year the Institute for Holocaust, Genocide, and Memory Studies (IHGMS) at UMass Amherst brings together an interdisciplinary group of scholars from the Five Colleges to explore a broad topic. In the academic year 2019-2020 this group of IHGMS Fellows is exploring the topic of “Citizenship and Other States of Belonging.” Applications due April 10, 2019.
