INTS 355W : Prevention of Genocide and Mass Atrocities

The course examines episodes of genocide and mass atrocities in the 20th and 21st centuries and analyzes theoretical, legal, political, and sociocultural underpinnings of genocide prevention. Today we see a growing body of scholarship, early warning and risk assessments, legal doctrines and practices, the responsibility to protect debate, and state and non-state institutions devoted to preventing genocide and mass atrocities. Through integrating these resources, we will deepen our understanding of “genocidal” processes and explore ways to prevent them.

This course satisfies the advanced writing skills course requirement.
