DESCRIPTION:A public lecture by Clémence Pinaud (Associate Professor\, Dep
 artment of International Studies\, Indiana University\, Bloomington)\, Cen
 ter Visiting Scholar\n\n \n\nOrganized by the USC Dornsife Center for Adva
 nced Genocide Research\n\n \n\nRegister here\n\n \n\nIn this lecture\, Cen
 ter Visiting Scholar Professor Clémence Pinaud (Indiana University\, Bloo
 mington) explores the largest state massacre in South Sudan. The massacre 
 started at dawn on December 16\, 2013 and targeted the Nuer\, the second l
 argest ethnic group in South Sudan after the Dinka\, killing thousands –
  15\,000 to 20\,000 according to Nuer elders. Various Dinka troops were in
 volved in perpetrating atrocities\, and Nuer army generals reacted by moun
 ting a rebellion against Dinka President Salva Kiir. The Juba massacre is 
 the origin of the country’s last decade of war. As such\, it remains an 
 extremely sensitive topic and is rarely discussed publicly. The massacre i
 s also understudied\, and most academic works that mention it cite the thr
 ee main sources on the massacre (the UN\, the African Union\, and Human Ri
 ghts Watch). In this talk\, Professor Pinaud will explore in depth what th
 ose sources offer and what they lack. She will discuss her research in pro
 gress and present new historical evidence based on interviews with survivo
 rs and witnesses in order to better understand the massacre.\n\n \n\nClém
 ence Pinaud is an Associate Professor at the Department of International S
 tudies of Indiana University\, Bloomington. Trained as a historian\, she f
 irst published articles on South Sudan’s military history\, including on
  war economies\, predatory behaviors\, and marital practices. For the past
  decade\, her work has focused on genocidal violence in South Sudan with r
 eferences to Sudan. Her book War and Genocide in South Sudan (Cornell Univ
 ersity Press) came out in 2021. In her spare time\, she is a printmaker an
 d the co-host of ‘The G-Word: A Podcast on Genocide’\, where academics
 \, advocates and survivors discuss why and how genocides occur.\n\n \n\nRe
