36 Seconds: Portrait of a Hate Crime

This 36 Seconds: Portrait of a Hate Crime special screening will be followed by a live Q&A with Professor John Cox and special guests.

Dr. John Cox is an associate professor of History and Global Studies at UNC Charlotte and directs the Center for Holocaust, Genocide & Human Rights Studies. John has written and lectured widely on racism and genocide as well as resistance and has been active in human-rights activism for many years. Dr. Cox came to Charlotte a dozen years ago, having earlier founded and directed another genocide & human-rights center at Florida Gulf Coast University.

His book on modern genocide and racism, To Kill a People: Genocide in the 20th Century (Oxford University Press, 2017) will be published in a 2nd edition later this year, adding a chapter on the Bosnian genocide of 1992-1995. He also wrote a book on anti-Nazi resistance, Circles of Resistance: Leftist, Jewish, and Youth Dissidence during the Third Reich, in addition to a book he edited on genocide denial. Some of John's writings can be found on his Academia.edu page.
