In this episode of Finding Hope Counselor Mandy talks with Dr. John Cox, a professor of Global Studies at UNC Charlotte and director of the Center for Holocaust, Genocide & Human Rights Studies. John shares that his two greatest losses were the recent passing of his Dad, and his trip to Bosnia two years ago where he felt profound trauma, sorrow and rage. Throughout his career he has been educating people about what has REALLY happened with genocide and the injustices he sees. He encourages our listeners by saying “small acts have a ripple effect and can have a bigger impact than you think they will, so don’t discount them – keep doing them.”
Dr. John Cox is a professor of Global Studies at UNC Charlotte and directs the Center for Holocaust, Genocide & Human Rights Studies. Before coming to UNCC in 2011, John founded and directed a genocide & human rights-studies center at Florida Gulf Coast University. Cox earned his Ph.D. in History at UNC-Chapel Hill in 2006.
John has written and lectured widely on racism and genocide as well as resistance and, at least as importantly, has been active in human-rights, anti-racist, and pro-liberation activism since his college years in the '80s.
