Unsettling Genocide Studies At The Eleventh Conference Of The International Association Of Genocide Scholars, July 16-19, 2014, Winnipeg-Canada, Andrew Woolford
Genocide Studies and Prevention: An International Journal
What is the purpose of a genocide conference and in what ways might such a conference "unsettle" us and contribute to a broader decolonizing project, in genocide studies and beyond?

Law's Religion: Rendering Culture, Benjamin L. Berger
Law's Religion: Rendering Culture, Benjamin L. Berger
Benjamin L. Berger

After so many years of continuous campaigning, federal politicans are like child soldiers in a war-torn African country; all they know how to do is fire their AK-47s.
This statement, and many other things that Flanagan describes as features of Canadian politics – including increased centralisation of decision-making in the party and the need to be in constant campaign mode – could also be considered to be …
