- Violence and Peace

Catalog description

This course explores the sociology of conflict, violence, and peace in a global context. Topics covered include the contexts that breed human rights violations, war and militarism, sexual violence, domestic and international terrorism, hate groups, and political violence. A variety of remedies from conventional deterrence and arms control strategies to alternative perspectives, such as nonviolent civil resistance, peace-building, restorative justice, and reconciliation strategies will also be examined.
