SUMMARY:Genocide Ideology and Denial in Rwanda
DESCRIPTION:UMSI welcomes guest speaker Jean-Damascène Gasanabo\, PhD\, former Director General of the Research and Documentation Center on Genocide at the Rwanda National Commission for the Fight against Genocide (CNLG). \nThe presentation will take place at the School of Information in North Quad Space 2435 and online. \nPlease RSVP for lunch \nWatch online via Zoom \nAbstract\nDespite the unequivocal evidence that the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi occurred in Rwanda\, some still endeavour to expunge that atrocity from historical records. All genocide starts with a destructive ideology and followed afterwards by denial. This talk will re-examine the concepts of genocide ideology and denial\, how they are linked and how they contributed to the killings of Tutsi from 1959 up to 1994. Available literature as well as recent cases will be thoroughly analyzed\, both at local and international level\, to understand different forms and trends of genocide ideology and denial\, with specific emphasis on the Rwandan case. \nSponsored by the University of Michigan School of Information Data\, Archives\, and Information Seminar; African Studies Center; Museum Studies Program; Ethics\, Society and Computing; and Franklin Innovator Residency Fund. \nSpeaker bio \nWith a PhD in education from the University of Geneva\, I have substantial experience working with the United Nations\, international non-governmental organizations\, non-profit organizations\, and governments on projects related to equitable and sustainable education curricula. As the Director General of the Research and Documentation Center on Genocide at the Rwanda National Commission for the Fight against Genocide (CNLG)\, I managed and led research projects as well as designed\, implemented\, monitored\, and assessed projects related to the Genocide against the Tutsi. Key projects included the digitization of forty-five million pages and four thousand audio-visual materials from Rwanda’s Gacaca Courts\, the preservation of textiles at the Nyamata genocide memorial site\, the preservation of bodies at the Murambi genocide memorial site\, and the preservation of artifacts in six other national genocide memorial sites in Rwanda. Between 2013 and 2015\, I also participated in a team responsible for designing Rwanda’s new national education curriculum for history and civic education. I am currently a Consultant with the International Labour Organization (ILO) for their Accelerator Lab 8.7 Program\, which provides funding and support to international organizations with innovative solutions to tackle child labor\, forced labor\, and human trafficking.

SUMMARY:Building the Gacaca Digital Archive
DESCRIPTION:UMSI welcomes guest speaker Jean-Damascène Gasanabo\, PhD\, former Director General of the Research and Documentation Center on Genocide at the Rwanda National Commission for the Fight against Genocide (CNLG). \nThe presentation will take place at the School of Information in North Quad Space 2435 and online. \nWatch online via Zoom \nAbstract\nAfter the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda\, more than 130\,000 inmates were imprisoned and accused of genocide crimes. The country was operating through fire and blood! The judicial system was destroyed – judges and lawyers had been killed or exiled in neighboring countries. To judge the genocidaires\, the government decided to reintroduce the Traditional Jurisdictions Courts called Gacaca. This talk will emphasize what Gacaca did as a court and how it worked during the trials; the digitization process of the 45 million pages of Gacaca files; and the impact of the Gacaca files on society after the digitization. \nSponsored by the University of Michigan School of Information Data\, Archives\, and Information Seminar; African Studies Center; Museum Studies Program; Ethics\, Society and Computing; and Franklin Innovator Residency Fund. \nSpeaker bio \nWith a PhD in education from the University of Geneva\, I have substantial experience working with the United Nations\, international non-governmental organizations\, non-profit organizations\, and governments on projects related to equitable and sustainable education curricula.

SUMMARY:The Seduction\, Refusal\, and Retention of Universality in Collections Care
DESCRIPTION:Rackham Graduate School Assembly Hall (4th floor)\nPlease join the Museum Studies Program for its 20th anniversary keynote address by Cara Krmpotich\, Director of Museum Studies at the University of Toronto. \nUniversality as an intellectual and ethical imperative has substantially shaped museum work\, including the management and care of collections. Critiques of the universal—including universal museums—contribute to current and necessary conversations encouraging the decolonization of cultural institutions. At the same time\, the ethical impetus of universal design offers a new set of values with which to imagine the universal in museums. In this talk\, I consider moves from universalism to relativism\, and from singularity to plurality. In seeking to understand why universalism\, its refusal\, and its retention within museum spaces matters\, I propose that museums’ evolving interpretations of universality directly shape how they care—for their collections\, their publics\, and their environments. \nCara Krmpotich is Associate Professor and Director of the Museum Studies Program at the University of Toronto’s Faculty of Information. She is Past-President of the Council for Museum Anthropology\, an Ontario Museums Association Councillor\, and Co-Director of the Great Lakes Research Alliance (GRASAC)\, an Indigenous-Settler network committed to reuniting Great Lakes cultural belongings with Great Lakes places\, knowledge systems and peoples. \nPlease join us online via Zoom if you are unable to attend in person:   https://umich.zoom.us/j/92878966443 \nKrmpotich flyer
