This session covers the first stage of genocide: classification. Host Dan Haumschild explores this stage through a brief examination of the primary dividing line that erupted in 1994 in Rwanda, he invites listeners to consider both the regularity by which we classify, and the potentially terrible consequences of this social and political practice in the hands of powerful agents. Information about this session including bibliographic references, additional readings & complimentary educational materials are available at danhaumschild.com/tenstages/classification.
