TSC 6594 - Peacebuilding


The field and practice of peacebuilding utilizes nonviolent tactics to transform social conflict and to build cultures of peace.  In this course, students will survey a range of roles and domains within the field of peacebuilding, including how peacebuilding is utilized in international post-conflict contexts, and how countries and communities which have experienced deep social conflict can benefit from peacebuilding. Students will also consider how peacebuilding can address structural violence and how innovative arts-based praxis can deepen peacebuilding efforts. The course will also explore the reflective practitioner skills and characteristics that are necessary to design, assess, and impact transformation in unpredictable conflict contexts.
