Abstract
Dr. Ellen Kennedy, founder and Executive Director of World Without Genocide, is the featured speaker at a March 30 lecture presented by the University of Regina President’s Liberal Arts Advisory Group. Her lecture is entitled ”The Armenians, the Holocaust, and Rwanda: Where was Empathy? I would like people who attend the lecture to come away with an understanding of how important it is that we have empathy for those who live in our neighbourhoods, in our communities, and in places far away,” says Dr. Kennedy. “Having empathy - especially for those we perceive as being different from us - is one of the important steps in preventing prejudice, discrimination, hate, and violence.”
