The world is confusing, but there are experts in everything. In our least funny episode ever, we thankfully convinced a global expert, professor, researcher, author, and Genocidologist (it’s a real word) Dr. Dirk Moses to answer the questions that we may secretly have: What exactly is genocide? How long has it been happening? Is it a war crime? Is it a crime of atrocity? Who makes up humanitarian law? What's self-defense — and what's offense? How is it litigated? Whose business is it? Why do we do this to each other? What can be done? It’s a dense, long episode with lots of asides for history and context, but it might be just what you need to give you perspective on the conditions — and cycles of trauma — that can lead to crimes of atrocities. Follow Dr. Dirk Moses on <a href="https://twitter.com/dirkmoses"> X</a>Read his book, “<a href="https://bookshop.org/p/books/the-problems-of-genocide-a-dirk-moses/14730813?ean=9781107503120">The Problems of Genocide: Permanent Security and the Language of Transgression</a>”A donation went to <a href="https://giving.ccny.cuny.edu/donate-now">student tuition at City College of New York</a>More episode sources and links<a href="https://alieward.com/smologies">Smologies (short, classroom-safe) episodes</a>Other episodes you may enjoy:<a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/goodfire"> Indigenous Fire Ecology (GOOD FIRE)</a>,<a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/indigenouscuisinology"> Indigenous Cuisinology (NATIVE FOODS)</a>,<a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/indigenouspedology"> Indigenous Pedology (SOIL SCIENCE)</a>,<a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/ethnoecology"> Ethnoecology (ETHNOBOTANY/NATIVE PLANTS)</a>,<a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/bryology"> Bryology (MOSS)</a>,<a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/mycology"> </a><a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/blackamericanmagirology">Black American Magirology (FOOD, RACE & CULTURE)</a><a href="https://alieward.com/ologies-sponsors">Sponsors of Ologies</a><a href="https://alieward.com/ologies-extras">Transcripts and bleeped episodes</a><a href="https://www.patreon.com/ologies">Become a patron of Ologies</a> for as little as a buck a month<a href="https://www.ologiesmerch.com/">OlogiesMerch.com</a> has hats, shirts, hoodies, totes!Follow @Ologies on<a href="https://www.instagram.com/ologies"> Instagram</a> and<a href="https://twitter.com/ologies"> X</a>Follow @AlieWard on<a href="https://www.instagram.com/alieward"> Instagram</a> and<a href="https://www.twitter.com/alieward"> X</a>Editing by Mercedes Maitland of<a href="http://maitlandaudio.com/"> Maitland Audio Productions</a>, Jacob Chaffee, and Jarrett Sleeper of<a href="https://www.mindjammedia.com/"> MindJam Media</a>Additional producing and research by Mercedes MaitlandManaging Director: Susan HaleScheduling producer: Noel DilworthTranscripts by Aveline Malek Website by<a href="https://www.kellyrdwyer.com/photo"> Kelly R.
