SUMMARY:Lessons in Resilience from the Holocaust and Genocide Featuring Dr Nicole Fox on The Resilience of Female Survivors in the Aftermath of Genocide
DESCRIPTION:In the midst of uncertainty and shadows\, our series on resistance stands as a beacon of hope. Over the course of our 8-part series\, we aim to shed light on the stories of individuals and communities courageously facing prevailing challenges. Our mission is to create a space where narratives of resilience take centre stage\, unveiling the indomitable strength of the human spirit in adversity. \nJoin us on this transformative journey; let this series serve as your source of empowerment\, inspiring our community to find their own light within the encompassing shadows. \nInaugural Event! Featuring Nicole Fox: \nThe Resilience of Female Survivors in the Aftermath of Genocide: \nMemorialization and Centring Women’s Experiences in Contemporary Rwanda \nNicole Fox\, PhD \nNicole Fox\, PhD is an Associate Professor of Criminal Justice at California State University Sacramento. Her research centres on how racial and ethnic contention impacts communities\, with a focus on how remembrances of adversity shape social change and collective memory. Her current project examines individuals who conducted acts of rescue during episodes of mass violence\, theorising how social factors shape high-risk actions. Her 2021 book After Genocide: Memory and Reconciliation in Rwanda (University of Wisconsin Press) focuses on how memorials to past atrocity impacts community development and reconciliation for survivors of genocide and genocidal rape. Her work has been supported by the Harry Frank Guggenheim Foundation\, the National Science Foundation\, Andrew Mellon Foundation\, and the American Sociological Society’s Fund for the Advancement of the Discipline\, among others. She also serves on the United Nations Economic and Social Council and contributes to the UN Commission for the Status of Women held annually at the UN headquarters. \nThe discussion will be moderated by Tali Nates. \nTali Nates is the founder and director of the Johannesburg Holocaust & Genocide Centre (JHGC) and Chair of the South African Holocaust & Genocide Foundation (SAHGF).
