CPSJ 150 - Introduction to Conflict & Peace

Credits: (3)
Broad in approach, this introductory course examines key issues arising from within each of the 3 tracks in the Conflict, Peace, & Social Justice major: Global, Societal, and Personal/Interpersonal conflict. It therefore introduces students to basic tools required in the analysis of conflict and peacebuilding from within serveral disciplines. That said, the course raises general questions about war and direct violence, indirect and structural violence, and human responses to conflict and social injustice; it reviews initiatives for positive peace (community development, human rights, environment); and highlights opportunties for personal transformation. Required for CPSJ Majors. (Fall)
