AG&IJ planning Discussion with Fran 3/2/12

Have a session where we invite multiple people from the Armenian community to share? Talk about how they see injustices towards them and in the world today? How does this relate to international justice today? Panel

As get toRangeofChoices– maybe couple AG content session with a Worse than War range of choices lesson.

Lemkin as bridge?

Something contemporary and international even on first day ICC connection – seed-planting Pamela Yates site – prosecuting Guatemalan today Skyped in – great at talking about role of documentaries, film-makers in international justice

Pam Cohen – Maria’s Story

Use photographs from Aftermath on AG and narrative of photographer (artist statement) on first day? Katherine Cook is photographer
 * Sara Terry – Fambul Tok and Aftermath connection

New Resources to consider:

Worse than War Reckoning Aftermath Lemkin Fundamental Freedoms Reporter – might be link to NYTimes activity – Kristof has Armenian ancestry – look for something written

Something on truth commissions?

Where do we put TJ language? How do we introduce how to move forward? What are tools? What are we left with if tool is not in place?

Connection to LA Riots – with a history not readily remembered? (probably a stretch we don’t need, but could end up as “ourselves” connection if participant raises)

Purpose of this seminar?
 * Adult experience
 * Justice as overarching theme for a unit or class of exploration
 * Power of case study approach
