Her focus had been that while cultural genocide is something easily brushed aside by governments, its effects can be profound and even deadly.<\/p>\n

Cultural genocide, Hanna explains, is not the destruction of a group of people through physical means. \u201cCultural genocide targets a group\u2019s culture\u2014their religion, art, education, traditions and language. A big part of what needs to be pointed out is that cultural genocide is often overlooked. And that destroying culture is extremely harmful to people.\u201d<\/p>\n

Her next presentation came on a different stage a year later and half a world away. Hanna had been selected to be a panelist at the International Association of Genocide Scholars<\/a> in Johannesburg, South Africa, Oct. 20\u201324. The conference is part of a global, interdisciplinary, nonpartisan organization that seeks to further research and teaching about the nature, causes and consequences of genocide\u2014and advance policy studies on genocide prevention.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” top_margin_tablet=”32″ top_margin_phone=”32″ column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”default” gradient_type=”default”][vc_raw_html css=””]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[\/vc_raw_html][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”32″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=”” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”right” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”default” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]\u201cI was looking at local conferences just for fun, and this conference in Johannesburg popped up,\u201d Hanna says. \u201cMy professors told me I should totally do that. I got the email that I was accepted while I was working the show at the Palladium.\u201d That show was Sparrow\u2019s Dream<\/a>, a modern opera that was part of the Palladium Creative Fellowship Festival. The opera included an Eckerd cohort, including Hanna as a member of the backstage crew. \u201cThat was a really great night,\u201d she adds.<\/p>\n

Using grants from Eckerd College and other sources, she came up with the $3,000 needed for five days in Johannesburg. A Johnston-Ford Scholar<\/a> and a member of Phi Beta Kappa<\/a>, Hanna estimates she was one of only a handful of undergraduates who participated. And she is certain her experience at the Eckerd Research Symposium came in handy. \u201cI added a couple of new things,\u201d she says, \u201cbut it definitely helped having talked about this last year. I was really nervous this time, but everyone there was really encouraging and supportive. And the feedback was great.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”32″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=”” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” el_class=”lg_text” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”default” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]\u201cThe biggest impact for me was just being able to see what other people are doing, to see the different possibilities.

The conference helped me narrow my focus a little more and maybe move more into the storytelling aspect.\u201d<\/p>\n

She is well on her way. Hanna had been recognized last year by the Society of Professional Journalists<\/a> for her work at The Current<\/a><\/em>, Eckerd\u2019s student newspaper. Her award-winning story was titled \u201cEckerd College students want more safe spaces to discuss Israel-Hamas war<\/a>.\u201d It was a finalist in the in-depth reporting category for small colleges.<\/p>\n

Hanna is currently looking at graduate school programs. \u201cBut I plan to take some time off to decompress and reflect on everything,\u201d she says. \u201cI met people from Canada, Europe, Africa \u2026 so I have connections to so many people in different parts of the world. Connections I will definitely try to keep.\u201d[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
