Analyzing Diasporic Pedagogical Representations of Historical Violence against Women: The Case of Armenians of the Levant
Panossian, Vicky
Review of Education, Pedagogy & Cultural Studies, v43 n2 p165-184 2021
This article focuses on the Middle and High school level history education of a particular minority group within the Middle East, the Armenian diaspora. In this analysis, the target group includes the third, and sometimes the fourth, generation of refugees, therefore, these students are not only entirely Lebanese, but they have also no other understanding of homeland. While portraying a feminist and ideologically fueled narrative, the historical narrative abstains from mentioning any variations of sexual violence against women. While genocide studies have become a fundamental core of Armenian history taught in Middle and High school, it has adopted a two-dimensional view of women. The author proposes the alternation of the current Middle and High school curricula of Armenians of the Middle East in order to portray degrees of sexual violence through genocide studies, without traumatizing the student. The proposed tools for enhancing the lesson plan of the respective classrooms ought to serve as an adjustable framework that may be tweaked to fit the requirements of any rendition of minority groups who have suffered from a collective tragedy within their communal histories.
