Conflict, Peace, and Social Justice Program Description
The major provides for an interdisciplinary examination of the conditions that make for peace, whether we are considering issues arising within the Global Sphere (Political Science, Business/Economics), American Society (Sociology, Political Science, History, Literature, Theology, Philosophy), or Personal/Interpersonal Relations (Communications, Literature, Psychology, Theology).&nbsp; In focusing on both the analytical and normative aspects of conflict, social justice, and peace work, the CPSJ Major seeks to graduate students committed to promoting the development of a just and peaceful world order, and to being catalysts for social and personal change. <br> <br>The particular emphasis of this program is on situating conflicts within the broad framework of peace and justice.&nbsp; It differs from existing MSMU programs in Criminal Justice and Legal Studies in that those programs have more specific foci, crime and law, respectively.&nbsp; While the latter programs consider their subjects to lie within the broader framework of peace and social justice, that is not their primary interest.&nbsp;
