Description
This course examines gendercide in a comparative and global-sociological perspective. It explores two central propositions: that the framing should be an inclusive one, encompassing the experiences of both women/girls and men/boys and that recognition and amelioration of the phenomenon is a matter of the highest urgency. Themes may include theories of gendercide, sexual violence as a genocidal weapon, and the relevance of feminist and masculinity studies literatures for the study of gendercide. Case studies vary from year-to-year.
