Organized by the Strassler Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies and co-sponsored by the National Association for Armenian Studies and Research (NAASR), the event will explore the different routes to the past—literature and history—and how each genre informs the other.

Strassler Center Director and Rose Professor Deborah Dwork will moderate the discussion, which is part of the center’s “Critical History” lecture series.

Bohjalian is the author of 17 books, 9 of which are New York Times best-sellers. His novel Midwives was a number one New York Times best-seller and a selection of Oprah’s Book Club. His work has been translated into more than 25 languages, and 3 of his novels have become movies. His books have been chosen as Best Books of the Year by the Washington Post, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, the Hartford Courant, Publishers Weekly, Library Journal, Kirkus Reviews, Bookpage, and Salon.

Mouradian is the coordinator of the Armenian Genocide Program at the Center for the Study of Genocide and Human Rights at Rutgers University. He teaches history and sociology at Rutgers University as adjunct professor. Mouradian is a doctoral candidate at the Strassler Center, and a Calouste Gulbenkian Armenian Studies Fellow. He served as editor of the Armenian Weekly from 2007-14.

The event will begin at 7:30 p.m. in the Higgins Lounge at Dana Commons, Clark University, 950 Main St., in Worcester, Mass. It is free and open to the public. A reception and a book signing will follow. For more information, e-mail Sarah Cushman at scushman@clarku.edu.
