Holocaust and Genocide Educator Workshop
(Spring 2026)

“Propaganda and Media Literacy: WWII and Today”

Monday, May 18 from 8:00am to 2:30pm
Alumni Lounges, Ramapo of New Jersey
(There is no remote option. Sessions will not be recorded.)

Instilling media literacy skills has become one of the most crucial and challenging tasks for teachers today, due to new technologies and the radical polarization of US politics and culture. This is not a new phenomenon. Joined by additional special guests, Drs. Bradley Hart and Angela West will present the history of American pro-Nazi propaganda and youth organizing in the years preceding the country’s entry into WWII—even our NJ counties. Dr. Satarupa Dasgupta will then shift our focus to the present, while remaining conscious of historical continuities, to discuss and learn how to equip students with robust media-literacy skills for navigating and participating fruitfully in our divided and hyper-mediated society.
