About

Our Holocaust studies stream is a critical inquiry into the events that shaped the 20th century. You’ll gain a deeper understanding of antisemitism, racism, religious intolerance, homophobia and the stigmatization of mentally and physically disabled communities.

You’ll complete either a thesis or a non-thesis-based project, both of which have a required practicum component. You can complete this practicum at home or abroad in places like Berlin or Budapest. You’ll also have the opportunity to attend our I-Witness field school.
