ARCR 830 - Grassroots Peacebuilding and Global Action

3 credits


While Track 1 diplomacy, at the national level, tends to grab the headlines, much of the most important work in the field of peacebuilding takes place at the grassroots level.  This course will examine a range of methods employed in grassroots, people-to-people peacework.  We will study direct methods of peacebuilding, such as the Saville Commission on Bloody Sunday in Derry, northern Ireland as well as indirect approaches such as humanitarian work in healthcare and education that are also crucial for achieving and maintaining lasting peace.   This course offers a unique opportunity to learn directly from humanitarian and peace activist Don Mullan, who has been involved in peacebuilding efforts around the world.
