Member Testimonials

“Joining IAGS was both important and helpful for me. IAGS is an excellent source of the most updated information about what is going on in the field of genocide research. The listserv is full of information about events, conferences, new books etc, so you won’t miss anything that you should know about as a genocide researcher or activist. IAGS has also created a great opportunity for me to meet with scholars and professionals, to receive some feedback on my work and to initiate collaborations. The IAGS biennual conference was a great opportunity to be introduced to people’s work as well as to chat with some and begin to know those people with whom I share the interest and mission of researching genocide and fighting to eradicate it.”

–Hilly Moodrick-Even Khen, PhD, Senior Lecturer for International Law and Chair of Ariel University Center for the Research and Study of Genocide

“I see being part of IAGS as essential for all professionals in the field of mass atrocity prevention. In the many years I’ve been a member I had the opportunity to learn about groundbreaking research in the field and connect to academics and professionals working on atrocity prevention in all regions of the world, all thanks to IAGS. The organization provides immense opportunities for learning, networking and, in my experience, is an essential space of interaction for all people working to prevent atrocities today.”
