The Strassler Center’s Rose Library, opened in 1998 with the donation of the Diana Bartley Collection, helped establish it as a leading research institute.
Join the vibrant academic community of the world-renowned Strassler Center.
Since 1998, the Strassler Center at Clark University has gained international standing as the foremost Ph.D. program training students in Holocaust History, the Armenian Genocide, and other genocides perpetrated around the globe. Center faculty and students foster important scholarship and germinate significant ideas as conveners of a robust series of international symposia, workshops, and conferences that broaden the boundaries of genocide studies by introducing lesser-known cases and novel approaches. The causes, conduct, and consequences of genocide are complex and require multifaceted approaches. The Strassler Center is committed to pushing boundaries in order to foster greater knowledge as well as to train professionals who hope to find solutions, offer healing and aid, education, and opportunities for memorialization.
