Description

Comparative Genocide critically reviews central themes of genocide studies and describes an array of new directions in the field, including cultural genocide, gender and genocide, and structural violence. This course is case-study focused, seeking to place both established and less established cases of genocide in a wider comparative perspective. Cases analyzed may include genocide of Indigenous Peoples in North America and other settler societies, the Nazi Holocaust, the Armenian genocide, the Sri Lankan genocide, the Rwanda genocide, among others. Cases covered vary from year-to-year.
