Ackerman Center Podcast

The Ackerman Center Podcast provides a space for the Ackerman Center for Holocaust Studies to publicly engage in a thoughtful and in-depth conversation about the Holocaust, genocide, and human rights studies. Launched in 2020, this podcast works to extend the conversation beyond academic audiences—providing an educational, engaging, and transformative experience. Through engaging with the past, we work to promote solutions for global justice and peace in our world. Find all of the Ackerman Center Podcast episodes on Spotify, Google Podcasts, and RadioPublic.

This podcast was launched by Dr. Sarah Valente in Spring 2020 as a way to provide ongoing connection at a time when the world was enduring a radical disconnection. Dr. Valente hosted, co-hosted, and edited episodes 1–31.

All past and future episodes are available for streaming on the podcast’s website and other streaming platforms.
