Peace and Conflict Studies 218: Practices of Peace and Conflict-War in Lived Experience
3.00 Credits
Colgate University
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.

Peace and Conflict Studies 225: Theories of Peace and Conflict-War,State,and Society
3.00 Credits
Colgate University
D. Monk, Staff This course examines problems of institutional systems and the articulation of power. Students are introduced to critical evaluation of the major theoretical approaches to the study of power and politics. The course considers rationalist, functionalist, and interpretive approaches in the social sciences, as they relate to questions of peace and conflict. Students examine the specific operative theories that have emerged out of these intellectual traditions - theories of state formation, security, international norms, and transnational networks - as they have been incorporated into and further developed in the study of peace and conflict. Students test major theories on case studies linked to major world events. For example, deterrence theory is examined in light of the end of the Cold War.

Peace and Conflict Studies 260: Gender and Conflict
3.00 Credits
Colgate University
T. Haberkorn, K. Olson This course explores and evaluates the relationships among gender, war, and violence, and investigates the myriad ways in which cultural ideas about womanhood and manhood have not only shaped, but have been shaped by, wars. The course examines the biological and social aspects of being male or female, and their implications on violence and war. Topics from cross-cultural perspectives are investigated, including forms, mechanisms, and dynamics of collective violence, militarization of everyday life, women in combat, gays in the military, attitudes toward war, rape, and female and male roles in the conduct of war. The course provides students with theoretical and historical understanding of gender and war.

Peace and Conflict Studies 301: Human Security
3.00 Credits
Colgate University
Staff Since the end of the Cold War, students of world politics have begun to re-examine many of the key concepts that informed the work of defense and policy intellectuals in the past. Key among these is the concept of "security," which chiefly referred to the safety of states (national security) or to the protection of the international system itself (international security). This course is organized into two parts. The first section examines the history of the concepts of security in the political and policy spheres, culminating with the UN Commission on Human Security's 2003 Report. The second part studies various aspects of the current human security concept, by focusing on case studies in environmental security, human rights, and humanitarian intervention. Prerequisites: at least two of the following course s: PEAC 111, 21 8, or 22 5, or by permission of the instructor

Peace and Conflict Studies 314: Media War:Peace and Conflict in the Digital Age
3.00 Credits
Colgate University
D. Monk, Staff The first purpose of the course is to demonstrate to the student the central importance of media in defining the reality of war, peace, and violence in modern culture. The second goal is to introduce, in a selective manner, film, art, and written works that shaped these definitions. The primary framework is chronological, beginning with a survey of images of war and peace in art and covering in detail World War I and World War II, and ending with current images of war and of preparations for nuclear war. The secondary framework distinguishes types or degrees of war: World War I and World War II, civil wars (Spain) and genocide (the Armenians, the Jews in Europe); struggles of national liberation (Vietnam and Algeria); and prospects of global holocaust, this last creating new imagery - both positive and negative - in art, poetry, fiction, and film. Methods of evaluation: examination and journals.
