 Spring 2024 McMillan Stewart Lecture

 In “Remnants”, tattooed and scar-bearing bodies reveal a larger history, as the lived trauma of genocide is understood through bodies, skin, and—in what remains of those lives a century afterward—bones. Please join us on April 3rd, 2024 to learn about Prof. Elyse Semerdjian’s work in gathering individual memories and archival fragments of women survivors- offering a feminist interpretation of the Armenian Genocide, and issuing a call to break open the archival record to embrace affect and memory.

 Prof. [Elyse Semerdjian](https://www.clarku.edu/faculty/profiles/elyse-semerdjian/) is the Robert Aram and Marianne Kaloosdian and Stephen and Marian Mugar Chair of Armenian Genocide Studies at the Strassler Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies at Clark University. She was a past recipient of Cornell’s Society for the Humanities Fellowship in 2016.

 **This event is open to the public.**

 Cosponsored by [National Association of Armenian Studies and Research](https://naasr.org/)
