The Genocide Education & Prevention Project (GEAPP) is a collaboration between Montclair State University and George Mason University dedicated to researching human rights issues and identifying innovative practices and methodologies that focus on genocide education, genocide prevention, and links between the two. From July 24-26, 2017 at Montclair State University, scholars and lawyers will present research on human rights and genocide for discussion. The research presentations are open to the public and the conference is an opportunity to bring together higher education humanities, law, and secondary education.

Rooted in the initial struggle of community members who staged a successful hunger strike to secure a high school in their Chicago neighborhood, David Omotoso Stovall’s Born Out of Struggle focuses on his first-hand participation in the process to help design the school. Offering important lessons about how to remain accountable to communities while designing a curriculum with a social justice agenda, Stovall explores the use of critical race theory to encourage its practitioners to spend less time with abstract theories and engage more with communities that make a concerted effort to change their conditions. Stovall provides concrete examples of how to navigate the constraints of working with centralized bureaucracies in education and apply them to real-world situations.

Beyond Measure sets out to challenge the assumptions of our current education story. Rather than ask why our students fail to measure up, this film asks us all to reconsider the greater purpose of education. What if our education system valued personal growth over test scores? Put inquiry over mimicry? Encouraged passion over rankings? What if we decided that the purpose of school was not the transmission of facts or formulas, but the transformation of every student? And what if this paradigm-shift was driven not by politicians but by students, parents, and teachers? In Beyond Measure, we went in search of those answers and found a revolution brewing in public schools across the country. From rural Kentucky to San Diego, and from bucolic Massachusetts to El Paso, Texas, we feature schools that are breaking away from our outmoded, test-driven education culture and pioneering a new vision for our classrooms. These are schools that are asking our students to invent, to make, to think beyond their school walls. These are schools that are asking students to imagine how they can effect change in the world. They’re transforming the roles of students and teachers, and putting more faith in the ingenuity of our children. They see critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity as the bedrock of a good education and the key to success after graduation. Best of all? They are dramatically and measurably improving outcomes for children of all backgrounds--becoming schools where practically every student graduates and goes on to finish college. Beyond Measure boasts a collection of scholars and experts who put our stories in context, including Sir Ken Robinson Ph.D., Linda Darling-Hammond Ph.D., Daniel Pink, Yong Zhao, Ph.D., Jo Boaler, Ph.D., and Alison Gopnik Ph.D.. Beyond Measure fills a void that too many other education stories have left empty, offering a positive picture of what’s innovative and possible in American education when communities decide they are ready for change.
