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 of about 40 students from non-Japanese universities participating in the 2025 Hiroshima University Peace Study Tour, in partnership with Sasakawa Peace Foundation and Columbia University. Students are required to attend lectures, activities, and fieldwork, and dedicate time for groupwork and assignments. 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.
