One key initiative of the Peacebuilding Initiative is to develop peace-based course offerings at the graduate and undergraduate levels. These courses will address political, economic, ethical, cultural, and biosocial dimensions of peacebuilding.
Students will learn theoretical and methodological tools to think critically about what drives conflict and sustainable peace, learning from concrete examples of peacebuilding in regions of Africa, Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East, and gaining in-depth understanding of issues related to human security, health and human rights, social inclusion and post-conflict justice.
Students will apply their analysis to a range of peace-related research, practice, and policy. This knowledge will inform their coursework at Yale, summer internships, and careers in peacebuilding, public policy, global affairs, global health, and humanitarian work.
