³ÉÈËÍ·Ìõ

Through the interdisciplinary minor in Peace and Justice Studies, as well as our other programming and funding opportunities, the Office of Peace and Justice seeks to enable ³ÉÈËÍ·Ìõ students to achieve the following aims:

• Understand the causes and consequences of violence, the systematic sources of injustice, and the inter-relationship of justice and peace
• Analyze concrete cases of conflict from a variety of disciplinary perspectives, including political, sociological, theological, philosophical, and literary
• Identify and analyze mechanisms for resolving violent conflict as well as norms, practices, and institutions for building and sustaining peace
• Demonstrate proficiency in a number of conflict resolution, peace-building, and/or justice advocacy skills and apply these in interpersonal, institutional, societal, and global contexts
• Make meaningful connections across courses and develop a coherent framework for thinking about peace and justice issues
• Communicate proficiency in these aims in oral and written form
