.

We were honored to host distinguished scholars led by Dr. Uğur Ümit Üngör ( Utrecht University ) ( Genocide and mass violence ) , as well as Dr. Mehmet Polatel ( confiscation , destruction and ‘abandoned properties ‘ ) and PhD candidate Ayşenur Korkmaz ( thesis : Armenian Genocide survivors in their new homelands in the Caucasus ) . It was a very engaging and productive discussion with all three currently visiting scholars at the USC Shoah Institute and we will certainly invite them back to lecture at our larger format events .
