To further research, scholarship, education, and outreach related to genocide and other world challenges, CGHR publishes the “Genocide, Political Violence, and Human Rights” book series in partnership with Rutgers University Press and an online e-zine, The Rutgers Humanist. In addition, the Center holds seminars and conferences that result in related books, articles, policy papers, and special journal issues.
Global Voices is CGHR’s e-journal written for and by engaged scholars, practitioners, community members exploring issues central to the CGHR mission: “to understand and prevent genocide and mass atrocity crimes, taking a critical prevention approach. CGHR grapples with critical human rights issues, including the most pressing 21st century challenges that may give rise to genocide, atrocity crimes, and related interventions. On the other hand, we use a critical lens to rethink assumptions and offer alternative ideas and solutions.
The Rutgers Humanist is a student magazine dedicated to examining both domestic and international human rights issues. Through a combination of essays, reportage and opinion pieces, students explore topics ranging from artistic responses to tragedy, to transitional justice, to the effects of globalization on developing countries. Published biannually by the Center for the Study of Genocide and Human Rights, The Humanist occasionally produces special issues on pressing global topics and appears both online and in print.
Faculty adviser Nela Navarro coordinates the magazine and different Rutgers students and staff serve as Editors-in-Chief for each edition. The first issue was published in Spring 2011 and was edited by Rohini Chandra and Feraan Mohamed.
