AAR meeting in Montreal (Nov. 6-10).
Dear Colleagues,
At the American Academy of Religion meeting that begins this Saturday
in Montreal, there are several sessions of particular relevance for
those of you interested in Holocaust and Genocide studies. I want to
call your attention particularly to the two sessions of the ?Religion,
Holocaust and Genocide Group?:
A7-321 (Saturday, 4 ? 6:30pm, PDC 524B): ?Critical and/or Theological
Reflections on Melissa Raphael?s ?The Female Face of God at Auschwitz??
and
A9-225 (Monday, 1-3:30pm, PDC 511E): ?Ethics of Memory: Religious
Commemorations and Myth Construction?
In addition, I hope you can attend our session on Monday from 11:45 ?
12:45 (M9- 101, PDC-512B) ?Teaching the Tough Questions: Holocaust and
Genocide Studies in Contemporary Theological Education?, where I will
be discussing the new online resources and distance learning tools for
teaching the Holocaust that the Museum plans to offer professors and
students in religious studies. I hope this can also be an occasion to
compare notes on teaching models and resources. If you are unable to
attend but are interested in learning more about these resources,
please feel free to contact me at this email address:
With best regards,
