SUMMARY:Lessons and Legacies of the Holocaust: Inaugural Emerging Scholars Conference
DESCRIPTION:Higgins Lounge\, Dana Commons \n\n\n\nAlbert M. Tapper Annual Lecture \n\n\n\nKeynote: Lessons and Legacies of the Holocaust: Inaugural Emerging Scholars Conference \n\n\n\nSpeaker: Sarah Casteel (Professor of English\, Carleton University) \n\n\n\nHolocaust Studies From the Outside In: Art and Relational Thinking in Times of Crisis \n\n\n\nIn the aftermath of October 7th\, as the contemporary meaning and relevance of the Holocaust come under greater pressure\, Holocaust studies is confronting existential questions regarding its purpose and future. This talk considers how remapping the field through unconventional disciplinary\, cultural\, and geographical lenses can help scholars to navigate these challenges. In keeping with the field’s recent colonial turn\, it identifies wartime and contemporary literature and visual art that present Holocaust experience as entangled with other histories of violence. In particular\, Black writing and art about the Holocaust promote a relational understanding of shared and intersecting histories that combats contemporary polarization.  \n\n\n\nWatch recording of keynote \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nKeynote address sponsored by the Albert M.
