Courses
Introduction to Peace and Justice
The introductory course introduces students to concepts of peace and justice and to strategies of peacemaking and conflict resolution such as mediation or human rights activism. The course explores these issues through a focus on case studies. Students analyze these cases and connect their own experiences of conflict with forms of peacemaking they have studied.
Peace and Conflict Resolution
The second course has a shifting topic and is offered by a Wellesley faculty member or, occasionally, a visiting scholar. Topics for this course include Human Rights in Latin America, Women and Human Rights Law, and the literature of non-violence. Faculty in a variety of departments such as English, History, Spanish, and Sociology may teach these courses in the future. Students make up the rest of their major by taking courses from the curriculum which focus on the particular themes of their major.
