Reflecting upon Armenian orphans: Webinar with Nazan Maksudyan

⁠Genocide, as the most complex crime, is most often associated with mass killings, confiscation of property, and abduction of women. While the Armenian genocide spelled the absolute end for some of its victims, genocidal violence continued to effect the lives of those who survived. Arguably the most vulnerable group of survivors were the children who continued their lives as orphans. Armenian orphans were moved from one orphanage to another, and in some cases from one country to another, and had their own unique experiences of survival.

This April, Parrhesia Collective invites its audience to remember the Armenian orphans. Our guest will be Nazan Maksudyan, professor of history and senior researcher at the Centre Marc Bloch. Her research focuses on the history of children and youth, with particular interest in gender, sexuality, education, humanitarianism, and non-Muslims.
