Connecting people working on similar issues, revealing gaps and opportunities for future research, and bringing members of the prevention community together

 Emily Sample will initiate the conversation with thoughts on current gaps in atrocity prevention research. Next, we will hear brief presentations from those who have volunteered to share the research projects in which they are currently engaged or have planned. This will be a chance for researchers to describe the key question(s) they hope to answer, the challenges they anticipate or are experiencing, implications for and potential overlaps with other related disciplines, and opportunities for future collaboration.
