History Major Standing. This course introduces students to the practice of history through intensive reading, research, and writing about the ways in which the concept of gender can be used to understand genocide and other mass violence. By focusing on case studies in twentieth-century Europe, students will explore how masculine and feminine roles shape women and men as victims, perpetrators, and bystanders. Through reading historians' interpretations and primary source documents, students will develop an independent research project and produce a 25 page paper based on original research.
