Ran in 1 of the last 7 terms. Winter 2027: scheduled, 2 lecture sections. Spring 2027: schedule not out yet.

This course confronts the central challenge of how to transition from violence to just peace; from deep-rooted conflict, war, and structural violence to positive peace and transformed relationships. Students will learn key terms and concepts, explore frameworks for peacebuilding, understand central critiques of peacebuilding, and apply concepts of broad-based social change to conflict scenarios. Coursework includes readings, case studies, simulation exercises, and application projects.
