HGSC : Genocide Studies at USF : Teaching about Genocide Through learning and remembering we are better able to understand the Holocaust, and to work toward the prevention of future genocides. Toward this goal, the USF Libraries Holocaust & Genocide Studies Center supports the teaching and learning initiatives already in place at the University of South Florida, while creating new opportunities for students, professors, and researchers. Examples of the wide-range and diverse programming currently available at USF include courses taught by Assistant Professor Edward Kissi and Distinguished University Professor Kathleen de la Peña McCook.  Edward Kissi, a native of Ghana, is an Assistant Professor in the USF Africana Studies Department and author of Revolution and Genocide in Ethiopia and Cambodia (2006). His areas of expertise include the study of the causes of famine, and the domestic and international politics of food relief in Ethiopia and the Horn of Africa. He also studies the history of U.S. foreign policy towards Africa, as well as genocide and its implications for global human security. Professor Kissi currently teaches a course entitled History and Theory of Genocide. Read more »
