Genocide Seminar on Bangladesh: An Unprecedented Step at a US University
http://cie.kean.edu/~bdgenostud
It was a chilly evening with possible forecast of freezing rain or even snow on December 9, yet the 150-acre picturesque Kean University campus at Union, New Jersey was full of life with the presence of some 250 Bangladeshis from all over the United States and some 50 Kean University faculty and students. They all gathered for one cause: to attend an unprecedented seminar on the Bangladeshi Genocide of 1971 titled under “Bangladesh 1971: Intolerance, Violence and Genocide”.
This unique program is the first of its kind to be arranged, sponsored and hosted by a US university. Kean, the third largest public university in the State of New Jersey, has the most diverse student community, and is one of the very few institutions to offer a master’s degree in Holocaust and Genocide Studies. Kean University has one of the largest collections of oral history of the Jewish Holocaust in the State of New Jersey.
