The talk addresses how the introduction of digital media accelerated the denial of the Armenian Genocide and other genocides in the modern period. Learn about how denialist governments, organizations, activists, and pseudo-historians use digital platforms to distort and obfuscate the historical veracity of the major twentieth-century genocides.
Der Matossian is a Professor of Modern Middle East history and the Hymen Rosenberg Professor in Judaic studies at the Department of History at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. He is the author, editor, and co-editor of multiple books, including the award-winning Shattered Dreams of Revolution: From Liberty to Violence in the Late Ottoman Empire.
This discussion through Zoom will address how the introduction of digital media accelerated the denial of the Armenian Genocide and other genocides in the modern period.
Watch at the library or over Zoom.
