Event Details

The Ackerman Center at The University of Texas at Dallas and the US Air Force Academy are pleased to invite proposals for this joint conference at the US Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs from October 11-13, 2023.

This international and multidisciplinary conference offers the opportunity to examine the intersectionality of War, the Holocaust, and Human Rights as well as their representation through various disciplines, lenses, and formats. Bringing together scholars and practitioners from multiple fields, this conference seeks to foster critical dialogues regarding the nature of war, genocide, and the preservation of human rights. It will expand current understanding of these issues, while exploring the ways in which armed conflicts and crimes against humanity have come to mark the modern era.

We invite submissions in a variety of formats, including individual papers, panels, and artistic representations addressing any aspect of the conference themes, without limits to geography or historical era. The conference also welcomes posters from undergraduate students, which will be exhibited at the conference. The theme for poster submissions is War, Genocide, and Public Representations. More details regarding proposal formats and poster submissions will be available on the conference website.

Please submit proposals by email to WHHRConference@utdallas.edu with the subject line “WHHR Proposal” and include the following components in a single PDF document:
1. Title(s) of paper(s) with an abstract of 350 words for a group presentation or 150 words for an individual presentation
2. A one-page CV and a brief biography (no more than 100 words) per participant/moderator
