In 2020, on Indigenous Peoples' Day (formerly known as Columbus Day) -- October 12, 2020 -- the USC Shoah Foundation Center for Advanced Genocide Research will launch a three-day international conference entitled “Mass Violence and Its Lasting Impact on Indigenous Peoples - The Case of the Americas and Australia/Pacific Region”.
The Margee and Douglas Greenberg Research Fellowship, the first endowed fellowship for the Center, enables an advanced standing PhD candidate to spend up to a month in residence at the Center every year. The result of a generous gift from Margee and Douglas Greenberg, the fellowship is bestowed by a panel of USC researchers and professors who vet proposals for their originality and potential to make advancements in the field through the use of testimonies in the Visual History Archive.
The Sara and Asa Shapiro Scholar in Residence fellowship is the Center's most prestigious invitation-only fellowship. It enables one esteemed senior international scholar per year to spend a two-week residency at the USC Dornsife Center for Advanced Genocide Research and the USC Shoah Foundation for consultation, conversation, and research with the Holocaust and genocide research resources at USC, including the USC Shoah Foundation VIsual History Archive.
