Sean McIntosh

I will earn my Bachelor of Arts degree from Chatham University in May of 2024 with a major in History and a minor in Holocaust, Genocide and Human Rights Studies. Over the past four years I have conducted multiple independent research projects outside of my institution on varied topics of local and international interest. In the last two years of my degree I began ongoing research in collaboration with local populations of atrocity survivors. Most extensively have been Holocaust survivors and survivors of the Bamileke genocide in Cameroon. I'm extremely passionate about education and representation of historical events. As the next step in my career trajectory, I am pursuing a Masters degree in Education. I aim to not only teach History but help spread awareness and understanding of possibly lesser known historical events.
