Learning from Genocide: A Pedagogy for Social Change

The research focuses on learning about difficult knowledge, that which causes us discomfort and challenges our view of and our being in the world – the example here is genocide. The research explored guiding experiences in memorial museums situated in former sites of mass atrocities (Auschwitz and Srebrenica) from both educator and learner perspectives. The work demonstrates the opportunities for Research-Informed Teaching to move beyond the confines of our own subject areas, the wider institution and to become income-generating Knowledge Exchange.
