Description:
During this virtual program, experts will discuss Azerbaijan’s brutal attack on Artsakh and how the ethnic cleansing of its Armenian population in September 2023 resulted in a catastrophic humanitarian crisis.
Our distinguished panel includes:
Armine Mosiyan
Born and raised in Artsakh, Armine was four when she lost her father, Meruzhan Mosiyan, in the first Artsakh Liberation War. After high school, she attended Yerevan State University in Armenia’s capital, where she received her bachelor’s and master’s degrees in international relations. After graduation, Armine moved back to her hometown of Stepanakert, the capital of Artsakh, where she worked at the Office of the President of the Republic of Artsakh. In 2016, Armine spent a semester in the U.S. within the framework of the Tavitian Scholars Program in Public Policy and Public Administration at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University.
Despite her young age of 34, Armine has seen four wars, survived a nine-month-long blockade, and witnessed an ethnic cleansing, the result of which was that she and her family were forcibly displaced from, in her own words, “her happy paradise.” Armine is currently based in Yerevan with her husband and three sons. She is certain that—against all odds—one day they will return home.
Dr. Kim Hekimian
Dr. Kim Hekimian is an Associate Professor of Nutrition in Pediatrics (Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition) and the Institute of Human Nutrition (IHN) at Columbia University Medical Center. She is the Director of the IHN’s Master of Science in Nutrition program. She is also the Associate Director of Education for the Vagelos College of Physicians & Surgeons (VP&S) Program in Education in Global and Population Health.
In spring 2020, Dr. Hekimian co-organized a Public Health Working Group for Armenia during the time of COVID-19. This group of epidemiologists, biostatisticians, public health policymakers and risk communication experts from academic centers around the globe supports efforts of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Armenia in health system strengthening activities.
Currently, Dr. Hekimian is an advisor to the Minister of Health of Armenia. Her work focuses on developing nutrition policies and programs as well as perinatal care reforms to improve maternal mortality, cesarean deliveries, and postpartum care practices to promote exclusive breastfeeding.
Dr. Khatchig Mouradian

Description:
The Nazi party introduced antisemitic exclusionary laws shortly after Adolf Hitler was appointed German Chancellor in January 1933. While Jews were the primary target of persecution and murder, those who did not fit the “Aryan” ideal espoused by the Nazis were also persecuted under exclusionary regulations, including Black people, and Sinti and Roma in Germany, among others. This year’s Meyerhoff Annual Lecture will explore work produced by Jewish and Black artists interned during the Holocaust and World War II.
Speakers will pay special attention to Friedl Dicker-Brandeis’s work with children in the Theresienstadt ghetto and Josef Nassy’s visual diary of his life in the Laufen and Tittmoning internment camps for enemy aliens. They will discuss the importance of art in documenting persecution and murder, while bearing witness to the atrocities and preserving the stories of those who endured the Holocaust—including the stories of victim groups othered in society.
SpeakersSarah Phillips Casteel, Professor, Department of English Language and Literature, Carleton University
Elizabeth Otto, Professor of Modern and Contemporary Art History, University at Buffalo
ModeratorDanielle Battisti, Department Chair, Associate Professor of History, University of Nebraska Omaha
