CEPS 0916 - Identity & Political Violence

Institution:

Brown University

Subject:

Description:

In this course, students will explore the role of identity in international or intra-state conflicts. Violence in the name of collective identities, whether they are ethnic, religious, or other type of identities, is becoming commonplace across the globe. These conflicts are sometimes referred to as \"identity conflicts.\" However, in this course, students will be challenged to think analytically about the links between identity and violence that are frequently made in the media. In addition to gaining competence in the course material, students will also acquire skills that will help them in college, such as learning how to draw the most essential information from the texts, reading critically, as well as formulating own arguments that are supported by evidence and presenting them in an effective way.
