About this course

Political events of ethnic cleansing and genocide, while often assumed to be rare occurrences, have occurred in many continents, in budding democracies as well as authoritarian regimes. This course offers a systematic approach to the conditions under which ethnic cleansing and genocidal policies often occur, a typological examination of sample case studies, and an exploration of how experiences of genocide and ethnic cleansing affect political discourse.
