The historical record is marked by voids: elided events; disappeared people; erased accounts; marginalized communities.

The Center for the Study of the Holocaust, Genocide, and Crimes Against Humanity (GC—CUNY), in association with the School of General Studies and the Master of Arts in Holocaust and Genocide Studies (Stockton University) and the Skirball Department of Hebrew and Judaic Studies (New York University), offers a year-long  virtual series, The Marginalized and the Erased, to tackle a number of those blank spots.

“Beyond the Settler State:
Anticolonial Pasts and Futures in Palestine/Israel”

Born in the Bronx or Berlin, Jews of a certain age remember the justificatory slogan for the establishment of Israel, “A land without a people for a people without a land.” Persuasive as this may have been at the time, it spoke and continues to speak today to a settler colonial policy of violent erasure. Erasure that the November 2022 Israeli election and subsequent ministerial choices promise to intensify. Looking forward, what futures beyond the settler state might there be? Please join us for a conversation about possible paths toward anticolonial futures, particularly in light of anticolonial pasts, in the land between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea.  The discussion will feature Sarah Ihmoud, a scholar of militarism, occupation, borderlands, and Palestine, and Holocaust and Genocide Studies scholar, Raz Segal.

Anthropologist and Feminist Studies scholar Sarah Ihmoud is a professor in the Sociology and Anthropology Department at the College of the Holy Cross. Her forthcoming book,  Almaqdasiyya: Palestinian Feminism and the Decolonial Imaginary, centers Palestinian women’s resistance to colonial and patriarchal violence in occupied East Jerusalem. Raz Segal holds the position of Endowed Professor in the Study of Modern Genocide and he serves as the Director of the Master of Arts in Holocaust and Genocide Studies at Stockton University. Prof Segal is the author of Genocide in the Carpathians: War, Social Breakdown, and Mass Violence, 1914-1945, and is now writing a book on Holocaust Bystanders: A History of the Modern State.
