This is Democracy – Episode 191: War Crimes


Listen Later

This week, Jeremi and Zachary are joined by Historian Dr. Elizabeth Borgwardt to discuss the recent Russian war crimes in Ukraine, what war crimes are, and what we can do about it.

Zachary sets the scene with his poem "Fortunately"
Elizabeth Borgwardt specializes in the history of international law and the history of human rights ideas and institutions, with a focus on war crimes trials such as the Nuremberg tribunals at the end of World War II. Most recently, she is the co-editor of Rethinking Grand Strategy (Oxford University Press), where she analyzes FDR's New Deal as Grand Strategy. Her publications on the human rights politics of the 1940s -- especially her book, A New Deal for the World: America’s Vision for Human Rights (Harvard University Press) -- have been recognized with several book and article awards for Diplomatic History and the History of Ideas. She teaches at Washington University in St Louis, and has served as the Richard and Anne Pozen Visiting Professor of Human Rights at the University of Chicago as well as a Fulbright Professor at the Heidelberg Center for American Studies. In addition to her Stanford doctorate in U.S. History, she has earned a JD from Harvard Law School and a Masters in International Relations from Cambridge University (UK).
This episode was mixed and mastered by Evan Sherer, Alejandra Arrazola, and Will Shute.
