SUMMARY:The Museum as Kaleidoscope: On Plantations Past and Present in Louisiana
DESCRIPTION:3:00 – 4:15 pm \nEhrlicher Room (3100 North Quad) and online. \nWhat do we see when we look at a museum? Jarrett Martin Drake will attempt a response to this question by carefully considering the Angola Museum outside of the Louisiana State Penitentiary. His talk will discuss how museums are rarely windows into the past but more often kaleidoscopes into power. \nJarrett Martin Drake is an educator\, ethnographer and organizer who is currently a PhD candidate in anthropology at Harvard University. Prior to pursuing a doctoral degree\, Drake obtained a BA in history and an MS in information science with a concentration in archives\, during and after which he worked as an archivist and librarian in multiple institutional and non-institutional contexts\, most meaningfully with A People’s Archive of Police Violence in Cleveland. Drake was born and raised in Gary\, Indiana\, where he graduated from The Benjamin Banneker Achievement Center. \nPlease register here to attend online. \nAdditional information can be found here. \nCo-sponsored by the Museum Studies Program.

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. 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: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.
