Peace and Conflict Studies 218 - Practices of Peace and Conflict-War in Lived Experience

Institution:

Subject:

Description:

K. Olson, N. Ries, Staff This course introduces students to a range of approaches and problems in the descriptive analysis of peace and conflict. It juxtaposes core theoretical texts on conflict from the social and human sciences with detailed ethnographic case studies. Practices of contemporary conflict are paired with the interpretive paradigms whose aim is to understand and resolve them. For example, case studies in terror are paired with the field of trauma studies; specific regional conflicts with theories of globalization; and forced migrations with the field of refugee studies. In the process, this course introduces students to important methodological paradigms from the social sciences, chiefly from anthropology, sociology, and geography, as well as humanities-based approaches from comparative religion, literature, and language studies. This course is crosslisted as SOAN 218.
