The guidelines for your proposal:

Simply tell me:

What are the two genocides you will discuss/compare

• What is the factor, or two factors, that you will analyze
• Your sources might change before you submit your paper, but for the proposal: What are your ideas on the 4+ sources you will use

That’s all. Your proposal could be as simple as:

• I will examine the East Timorese and Guatemalan genocides. I will focus on perpetrator propaganda, and on the lack of an international response. I will use one Chapter 11 from Jones; a book by Greg Grandin (“The Blood of Guatemala”); and two articles that I found through scholar.google.com: [title, author; title, author].
• Compare two genocides using one or two criteria or factors.

For example:

perpetrator propaganda;

ideology and motives;

methods of destruction;

• treatment of women [or of men];

victim responses;

popular support and/or participation in the genocide,

international response (or: lack of international response)

and you are free to think of others.
