This course aims to identify the causes of historical examples of genocide through comparative study. Beyond simply creating a hierarchy of suffering, students engage in critical discussions aimed at uncovering the modern causes of genocide—especially nationalism, racism, colonialism, industrialization—that still plague our modern world. Suspending our historical hindsight allows us to understand that the elements of genocide still underscore structures of our society today and to prevent the crime from recurring, we need to reassess how we got here.
