Final call for applications Genocide and Human Rights University Program (GHRUP) This is the sixth year of the Genocide and Human Rights University Program (GHRUP) to be held in Toronto, July 30-August 10, 2007. The GHRUP is a comprehensive, graduate-level seminar taught by ten leading experts in their fields. Incorporating theory on genocide and the gross violation of human rights, history, sociology, political science and international law, and through a comparative analysis of major case studies and special themes, it explores such issues as: - The Foundations of Human Rights - The Causes of Genocide - How Genocide is Carried Out - Children, Gender and Genocide - The After-effects of Genocide - Genocide and International Law - Facing History: Solving Past Conflicts - Genocide Denial - Preventing Genocide Through the comparative study of the Holocaust, the Cambodian, Rwandan, and Darfurian Genocide, among other cases, and using the Armenian Genocide, the archetypal example of the 20th Century, as a point of reference, the program strives to show that genocide and the gross violation of human rights is a universal human experience and that, as such, it must be the concern of all individuals and institutions. The mission of the GHRUP is to help develop a new generation of scholars to engage in research and publication in the field of genocide and human rights studies. Applicants must be current or recent university students with a minimum of three years of undergraduate experience.
