GLST 6383 - Peacemaking and Reconciliation

3 credits

This course focuses on processes of peace-making that often must be at the heart of community-developing. The course will consider how to bring conflicting parties into agreement through nonviolent means. It will look also at underlying causes of hostility (such as racism, sexism, oppression, economic disparity, ethnic animosity, and intercultural misunderstanding), and consider both faith-based and secular approaches to fostering individual healing, reconciliation, and social justice.
