Brave New Classrooms:

Educational Democracy and the
Internet

Call for Papers

One of the most idealistic promises of the internet as a
medium has been its democratic potential. In working to keep faith with
that promise, many educators seek reinforcement for a progressive
political belief that good education leads towards social justice.
Although this promise still glimmers, teachers who want to pursue the
democratic potential of the internet and electronic education have
increasingly encountered forces of homogenization, standardization,
censorship, hierarchy and corporatization. This edited volume,
entitled Brave New Classrooms: Educational Democracy and the Internet,
will examine the "other" side of online learning.

Genocide: Forms, Causes, Consequences

Berlin, January 13-15, 2005.

Invitation, Announcement and Call for Posters

European Network of Genocide Scholars [ENOGS]: Foundational
Meeting (Berlin, January 13-15, 2005)

Without doubt, genocide is one of the most horrific crimes
in the history of humankind. In the twentieth century, the
Holocaust proved the destructive potential of a utopian
biopolitics that aimed at an ethnically or racially
homogeneous "societas perfecta". Unfortunately, it was not
the first genocide of the last century, as in 1904 the
Herero and Nama people had been slaughtered by the imperial
German army, and ten years later during World War I, more
than 800,000 Armenians were deported and killed by the Young
Turks. Nor was the Holocaust the last. Despite the United
Nations Genocide Convention of 1948, genocides took place in
Cambodia and Rwanda to name just a few.
