Professor Michael Bazyler will discuss the Armenian Genocide Looted Art Research Project (AGLARP) of the UCLA Promise Armenian Institute, which brings together American law students and art students, many of them Armenian-Americans, to search online collections of museums and other public institutions holding Armenian art objects. The goal of this research is to create a comprehensive list of all Armenian art in the United States and their listed provenances. The AGLA Project seeks to identify all objects which probably or possibly were looted during the Armenian Genocide.

Michael Bazyler is professor of law and the 1939 Society Law Scholar in Holocaust and Human Rights Studies at Chapman University in California. He is holder of previous fellowships at Harvard Law School, the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C. and Yad Vashem in Jerusalem (The World Holocaust Remembrance Center) where he was the holder of the Oppenheim Chair for the Study of Racism, Antisemitism, and the Holocaust.
