Overview

Adding a cross-disciplinary Ph.D. to the existing doctoral program in History, the Strassler Center offers training designed to confront large-scale human rights abuses and events of mass violence in the past as well as in the present.

The Ph.D. in Genocide Studies at Clark University relies on a curriculum that trains students not primarily in the diachronic, but in the synchronic dimension of genocides, and thus in disciplines such as anthropology, psychology, political science, sociology, literary studies, legal studies, and pedagogy.

Careers

Accommodating inter- and multidisciplinary methods that increasingly shape the field of genocide studies, students will graduate prepared for careers as leaders in government, NGOs, and various pedagogical institutions such as museums, memorials, and teacher training initiatives.
