Social Justice (Peace and Conflict Studies)
Overview
Peace and conflict studies provides the theoretical and practical foundation for understanding global issues of peace and (in)security. Students wrestle with a range of issues relevant to conflict and its alleviation, examining state and nonstate behaviour, policy, and implementation through analysis of media, development, and the international arena. Students undertake a capstone in which they intern at a local or overseas organisation relevant to peace and conflict studies, or complete a research-based, supervised dissertation or independent research project relevant to peace and conflict studies.
