Peace, Reconcil, Conflct Resol

Catalog description

Taught by JST. This course is co-taught by Simon Kim and Elise Rutagambwa. Peace, Reconciliation, and Conflict Resolution is a multidisciplinary course that exposes students to a unique area of studies that brings together the humanities and social sciences so as to provide a deeper understanding of conflicts, reconciliation, and peace. These three elements are interrelated and fundamentally affect the human person as a whole in his/her relation to a three-dimensional world (human-natural-spiritual). By focusing on the African context, students will better understand how the local context affects this multidisciplinary approach for other parts of the world. This course is part of joint virtual classroom with Hekima College in Nairobi, Kenya. Learn with students from across the globe and from world-class theologians such as Laurenti Magesa and A. E. Orobator, SJ. (February 5, 12, 19, 26 / March 5,12, 19 / April 2 /Tuesdays, 8:00am-11:00am)
