CMES seminar: Book Launch - The Armenian Genocide

Three Scandinavian missionary women and the Armenian Genocide', edited by Svante Lundgren and Maria Småberg, tells the story of three Scandinavian women who dedicated their lives to helping Armenian children and women afflicted by persecution and eventually genocide. The book explores the transnational, religious and gendered dimensions of relief work, addresses religious motivation and missionary practices in the context of humanitarianism, and discusses the roles played by women as victims and agents in war.

A book launch event will be held at Lynnéum (LUX:C212) on Tuesday 8 September from 4pm to 5pm. All welcome.

'Three Scandinavian missionary women and the Armenian Genocide' is available to read Open Access, or purchase in print, at: Lund University Press - Three Scandinavian missionary women and the Armenian Genocide
