ARCR 800 - Religion Culture and Conflict: Intro to Peace and Conflict Studies3 credits
This course begins with a study of theory for understanding conflict and models for conflict transformation and peacebuilding. We examine a range of themes relating to conflict involving religion, culture, ethnicity, nationalism and identity. What happens during the encounter between two vastly different ideological systems? When peoples’ histories seem to collide or when identities seem incompatible? The course will explore these and other issues through a series of case studies from both inside the US and abroad. We will also study the various methods that have been employed in efforts to resolve these conflicts. This seminar style course will incorporate perspectives from a variety of different inter-disciplines.
