The final project is due <\/span>Thursday, October 10th, by 11:59 pm AZ time. This is a <\/span>firm<\/span> <\/span>deadline, as grades for the course are due soon after. <\/span><\/strong>For the final project, you will write a research paper that explores genocide comparatively and engage four primary and eight secondary sources.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The essay<\/strong> will explore a significant theme, issue, or topic using at least two genocides as case studies\/comparisons covered in this course. It should be 1800-2200 words. Citations need to comply with the <\/span>Chicago Manual of Style, 17<\/span><\/i>th<\/span><\/i> Edition<\/span><\/i>. The text should be double-spaced and in 12-point font. The paper will be submitted through Canvas and should be in Microsoft Word format.<\/span><\/p>\n

Historical comparisons are more complex than they may appear at first, and doing so concerning genocide and mass atrocity is no different. While the results of genocide often look tragically similar, each one occurs within a unique and particular context. Like any solid historical comparison, this essay should demonstrate a good grasp of the local or regional historical contexts being analyzed and a critical attentiveness to their connections, similarities, and differences. However, your essay needs to go beyond just denoting the differences and similarities. You MUST make an argument about what they tell us (this is where using a central course theme – nationalism, colonialism, modernity, etc, or a combination of themes – helps!).<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Since this essay is relatively short, it is best to focus on a specific theme, topic, or issue that you can articulate clearly. The basis for comparison should arise from carefully reading and analyzing primary sources relevant to the theme, topic, or issue you are comparing. Primary sources include oral histories, media (contemporary radio, newspaper, and television), diaries, speeches, sermons, court\/tribunal records, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n
