    This course provides an overview of the field of peace studies and offers an in-depth look into theories and practices related to non-violence. Given that nonviolence (and peace, for that matter) can be difficult to define, we will begin with the assumption that whatever nonviolence is, it is a practice-something one does. That is, it is not simply a theory about how to respond to conflict as much as it is a set of practices and habits that 1) affects social change, 2) is often, historically, a correlate of what it means to practice justice, 3) reorients the individual practitioner to have different relationships with others, and 4) functions as a hermeneutical practice for interpreting various religious texts (e.g., passages and traditions within Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, etc.).
