Genocides in the Modern World
This class evaluates the motives and circumstances of global genocides and uncovers the experiences of those targeted by genocidal violence. The course will range widely from settler colonial violence in the Americas to the Armenian Genocide, the Holocaust, the Khmer Rouge, Rwanda, ISIL, and beyond.
Outcomes: Students will compare and contrast global genocides across space and time, evaluate the configurations of twentieth-century politics that have generated multiple genocides, and hone critical reading and writing skills.
