Class Objectives
/Class Outline |
Environmental issues are intrinsically linked to peace and conflict dynamics. This course will provide an overview of the theoretical frameworks that explain the relationship between peace/conflict and the environment and hands-on experience in field research. Students in this course will be part of a larger cohort for the 2024 Hiroshima University Peace Study Tour. Optional lectures and activities, such as attending the peace memorial ceremony, will be available for students who prefer to complete the study tour.
By the end of this course, students will have a broad understanding of environmental factors that influence the configurations of peace and conflict conditions. This course will equip students with field research, problem-solving, policy development, and public speaking skills necessary for their academic or policy careers. |
