James Waller Receives Appointments

Cohen Professor of Holocaust and Genocide Studies Jim Waller was recently elected to a position on the Advisory Board for the International Association of Genocide Scholars (IAGS) and named a Centennial Senior Ethics Fellow by the Carnegie Council for Ethics in International Affairs.

The IAGS is the leading organization in the field of genocide studies. The Carnegie Council for Ethics in International Affairs’ work is rooted in the premise that the incorporation of ethical concerns into discussions of international affairs will yield more effective policies both in the United States and abroad. As a Centennial Senior Ethics Fellow, Dr. Waller will be responsible for the Sarajevo programming that will coincide with the 100th anniversary of the assassination of the Austro-Hungarian Archduke Franz Ferdinand, the event that triggered World War I.
