Comparative genocide examines genocide and mass killing across time and space. While we delve into the definition of genocide. and theoretical works exploring the concept, most of the course is devoted to understanding the historical concept of mass killing and ethnic killing. Case studies include the genocide of teh Herero and Nama, the Armenian genocide, the Indonesian mass killings in 1965-66, the Guatamalan genocide, and the Rwandan genocide. At the end of the course, we will discuss teh UN Genocide Convention, international law, and efforts at prosecuting those repsponsible for crimes against humanity. We will end the discussion of restorative justice and the question of its efficacy in the aftermath of genocide.
