| Topics
|
| We explore whether a legal approach is the best way to determine whether political violence and atrocities are genocide or is a political or social approach more effective. And does discourse on genocide crowd out discussions of other crimes, such as war crimes? We draw insights from history and contemporary issues.
Then we look at the dark side of democracy.

| We explore a new book, The Suffragist Peace: How Women Shape the Politics of War.
The expansion of the vote to women throughout the 20th Century has had an impact on the discourses and politics of war and peace. What is the relationship between women voting, electing women leaders, and women-lead groups in civil society on the issue of war and peace?
Does the expansion of the vote to women lead to the election of women as leaders? And are these leaders more committed to peace than their male counterparts?

What might this signal about the court and its role in the 2024 election and in electoral politics more generally?
Polls suggest that voters want to know if Donald Trump is a criminal before voting in November. But the Supreme Courts decisions make it less likely that this occurs before the election. What does this mean for the future of the US and for democracy and the constitution?

Is the current legal and voluntary structure adequate to meet the challenge of climate change? Are we up to the challenge?
