Pedagogy, Human Rights & Philosophy in the Face of Oppression

Event Cosponsored by HHREC

In this workshop, QCC philosophy professor Dr. Shannon Kincaid will introduce participants to both the idea of discussion-based pedagogy, as rooted in American Pragmatism, and to its implementation in teaching texts that speak to the theme of the 2025-26 KHC-NEH colloquium, Resistance, Resilience and Reinvention: Artists and Academics Escaping Nazism. Key examples will come by way of academics that fled oppression.

This event is part of the 2025-26 Harriet & Kenneth Kupferberg Holocaust Center (KHC) and National Endowment for the Humanities Colloquium, “Resistance, Resilience and Reinvention: Artists and Academics Escaping Nazism.” It is co-sponsored by the Center for the Study of Genocide and Human Rights at Rutgers University; the Reiff Center for Human Rights and Conflict Resolution at Christopher Newport University; the Holocaust & Human Rights Education Center in White Plains; the Ray Wolpow Institute for the Study of the Holocaust, Genocide, and Crimes Against Humanity at Western Washington University; the Holocaust, Genocide & Interfaith Education Center at Manhattan University; and the Institute for Genocide and Mass Atrocity Prevention at Binghamton University.
