In this session, host Dan Haumschild addresses the definitions of genocide as adopted by the United Nations. He also provides very brief historical examples from around the world that exemplify the types of violence addressed by the UN declaration of 1948. Furthermore, he examines the concept as it was originally conceived by Raphael Lemkin, who is credited with coining the term. Finally, he previews the 10 Stages of Genocide by Gregory Stanton of Genocide Watch, which will serve as an outline for the first season.  Information about this podcast including bibliographic references, additional readings & complimentary educational materials are available at danhaumschild.com/tenstages/defininggenocide
