HIST 312

Students in this course will learn terms and concepts and examine genocide throughout time and space. While establishing conceptual foundations and examining pertinent theories, students will engage with international case studies. As this course makes clear, the human propensity to commit evil crimes is alarmingly universal and cannot simply be reduced to radical ideas. Students will take part in important conversations and consider questions of criminal law, social justice, and genocide prevention.
