Duration: 1h:30m:25s

Dr. Elisa von Joeden-Forgey offers an introduction to gender research in the field of genocide studies. Arguing that gendered violence is a key element of the crime of genocide, she engages comparative historical methods to demonstrate how attention to gender can aid in the prediction and reconciliation of mass violence and genocide. Dr. von Joeden-Forgey is Assistant Professor of Holocaust and Genocide Studies at the Richard Stockton College of New Jersey. Her current research on gender and genocide has appeared in the Journal of Genocide Studies and Prevention, the Oxford Handbook on Genocide, New Directions in Genocide Research, Genocide: A Bibliographic Review, and Hidden Genocide: Power, Knowledge and Memory.
