Violence. Conflict. Inequality. The world can be an unjust and violent place. But what exactly is violence and what are its causes? Is violence and, perhaps most importantly, can it be stopped? If so, how? This course will explore these questions by introducing students to the major themes, concepts and issues in the discipline of Peace Studies. Studying figures like, Dr. Martin Luther King jr. and Gandhi, we will learn how to be active peacemakers and build a better world through the way of active nonviolence.
