Notes
This course explores the challenges of addressing mass atrocity crimes, such as genocide, and past legacies of human rights abuse. Students who participate actively will: (1) acquire substantive knowledge about transitional justice theory and mechanisms, including use of international criminal courts and truth commissions; and (2) gain practical insight into the realities of striving for justice in complex social and political situations, such as when countries are emerging from conflict or authoritarianism. This course utilizes a wide range of experiential and participatory learning methods, including group exercises, simulations, presentations, and role plays. It will examine political transitions and conflicts around the world and have a substantial focus on Asia.
