Episode #2: Defining Genocide: A Gender Lens with Dr. Amy Randall

How did the current definition of genocide come into existence? Why is it important to conceptualize genocide from a gendered lens? In today’s episode of Conversations on Genocide, Podcast Team member Aline explores these questions and many others with Dr. Amy Randall, a History Professor at Santa Clara University. Dr. Randall discusses in detail the issues surrounding the legal definition of genocide and the importance of recognizing gender-based violence as an act of genocide. We’d like to thank Dr. Randall for taking the time to share her insights with us.
