Students spend 60 hours over the summer conducting research in the Institute\u2019s offices. Following the fellowship period students give a staff talk based on their work and findings and submit their final written work for archiving.<\/p>\n<p>Schoellkopf\u2019s research will focus on the Rwandan Tutsi Genocide collection, in order to complement and possibly inform her ongoing research into the genocide of Native Americans in California during the Gold Rush.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGenocide is clearly the worst side of humanity, but instead of being afraid of it, I want to research it and understand it,\u201d Schoellkopf said. \u201cIt\u2019s amazing how many patterns [among different genocides] you see once you understand the themes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Schoellkopf began interning at the USC Shoah Foundation this semester with IWitness manager Jenna Leventhal. As the student engagement chair of Annenberg Ambassadors, Schoellkopf also worked with members of the Shoah Foundation Student Organization (SFISA) to host a talk by Yannick Tona, a survivor of the Rwandan Genocide, at USC for this year\u2019s Genocide Awareness Month. She will also travel to Rwanda this summer on the Problems Without Passports course led by USC Shoah Foundation\u2019s Amy Carnes.<\/p>\n<p>Schoellkopf said that while her research focus is still a work in progress, she\u2019s looking forward to exploring the Visual History Archive this summer with no time constraints and the freedom to explore different topics and themes, as well as the opportunity to present her findings to Institute staff.<\/p>\n<div class=\"signup\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n  <\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":140,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[12,10,13,11],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10067","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-fellows","category-fellowships","category-news","category-profiles"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.6 -
