Feedback - round 1
Hi Amy, thanks for the feedback. I apologize for the late reply!
This is a sensitive, complex topic and I definitely hope to do it justice. In the first section, I plan on going into the different definitions of genocide (starting with Lemkin) and looking at the changes to the definition and why certain actions were excluded from the definition. It is subject to interpretation, and those interpretations change over time and from scholar to scholar. One of the case studies I'm using is about the Bosnian genocide, where only the Srebrenica massacre was ruled a genocide by the ICTY. In terms of the list, I will make it more clear that the events included are considered genocides by the authors of the Dictionary.
The perpetrator/victim dichotomy is something I'm aware of and still trying to navigate. I use 'survivor' in some situations but have yet to find a suitable term that does not re-victimize those impacted by genocide. I have a little more reading to do so I'm sure I'll come across something.
Thanks again for the thoughtful and constructive feedback!
