- Capstone: Peace and Justice Studies Seminar

Catalog description

This capstone provides an integrative experience for the Peace and Justice Studies Major or Minor, offering students an opportunity to synthesize what they have learned in both course and field work. Students review and evaluate theory, models of practice, research, and experience to develop their understanding of the ways peacebuilding and conflict-transformation are engaged personally, spiritually, locally, regionally, systemically, and globally. The course requires a project (e.g., the completion of an e-portfolio, major paper, and/or and public presentation) integrating peace and justice theory and praxis with a student’s academic major collective studies and future career aspirations. THEO 45000 should be taken in the final semester of the major or minor. The Capstone fulfills the Writing Across the Curriculum requirement for the Peace and Justice Studies major. 3 credit(s) Prerequisites: Completion of a majority of courses, including THEO 25000 “Foundations of Peace & Justice Studies,” which fulfill the major or minor curriculum (i.e., completion of around 9 courses for the major or 4 courses for the minor, inclusive of THEO 25000 ).
