In Taking Action Together: “Trauma & Atrocity – The Boundaries of Understanding and Emotion”, Dr. Danny M. Cohen invites you to grapple with how individuals and societies remember and respond to mass violence, collective suffering, and moral responsibility. You’ll be drawn into how emotional limits are tested when facing horrible events, and how memory can both heal and harm when mishandled.

Three things you will learn:

1. How you can recognize the emotional and ethical boundaries when engaging with traumatic histories without shutting down.

2. Why you should be thoughtful about how stories of atrocity are represented—so as not to oversimplify suffering or retraumatize.

3. Ways you can participate in shaping responsible public memory and promote more empathetic, nuanced discourse about past atrocities.
