Minor Information
The interdisciplinary minor in human rights and conflict resolution explores the different ways in which peace and justice can be achieved. Core issues studied include:
- Legal, cultural, social and political basis of human rights
- Causes and nature of violence, societal conflict and war between states
- Methods of conflict management, peace implementation and reconciliation on the personal, group, national and international levels
The minor facilitates the discovery of ways to overcome conflict and work toward peace. Critical thinking and interdisciplinary approaches link issues of conflict, conflict resolution and peace with human rights, the rule of law and social justice.
