Program on Justice and Peace
Justice and Peace Studies draws on a wide range of existing disciplines including Psychology, Philosophy, Theology, History, Political Science, Sociology, Anthropology, Literature, and Linguistics, among others. This multi-disciplinary field of study is concerned with many basic questions such as: what is a just society; what defines peace and can peace be achieved; what is conflict, when is it legitimate, and how can conflict be transformed?
