Via Muse, who wrote "My cousin Dr Keith David Watenpaugh speaking about
the Kurdish situation. Both our parents from the Watenpaugh side of the
family actually spent time with the Kurdish people when they were
growing up."
"Dr. Keith Watenpaugh is a leading Middle East historian, expert on
human rights, modern humanitarianism, genocide and the roles of refugees
and displaced people in world history.
Watenpaugh is the founding director of the UC Davis Human Rights Studies
Program, the first academic unit of its kind in the UC system. He has
been a leader in international efforts to address the needs of displaced
and refugee university students and professionals, especially those
impacted by the wars and civil conflicts in Syria, Iraq, Lebanon and
Turkey. Watenpaugh teaches graduate and undergraduate courses in human
rights, genocide and humanitarianism.
Since 2013, Watenpaugh has directed an international multi-disciplinary
research project assisting refugee university students and scholars
fleeing the war in Syria. He recently won the IIE Centennial Medal for
his work."
