Interdisciplinary Research Week

Interdisciplinary Research Week is a unique research opportunity the Center offers to collaborative teams of scholars from different universities, different disciplines, and different countries to meet in person at the Center and work together to address a particular challenge within the field of Holocaust and Genocide Studies. The time together enables teams to intensively discuss their ideas, conduct research with the unique resources at USC, refine their research questions, conceptualize grant proposals, and determine next steps for the future of their project.
