In the Fall of 2020, the Research Institutes of Contemporary Jewry at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and the Institute for Holocaust, Genocide, and Memory Studies at UMass Amherst launched a new, transnational program called “Encounters”: a series of meetings on new books in the research fields of the Holocaust, genocide, and mass violence. “Encounters” offers a unique opportunity for a broad audience, scholars and laypeople, interested in these topics across national borders, to be acquainted with the most recent works on these topics. This series continues in the 2022-2023 academic year as "Aftermaths".
There are no upcoming events at this time.

In the academic year 2022-2023, the IHGMS brings together an interdisciplinary group of scholars from the Five Colleges to explore the topic of “Emergency! Ecological Breakdown, Environmental Commons, and the Climate Refugee”.
