Description
Examines the work of women-led, peace-building initiatives around the world while engaging students in multiple skill-building exercises. Students will study the often unexamined structure of women’s work and formulate concrete policy recommendations for their full inclusion in formal and informal peace processes. The course bridges theory and practice, providing students with close interaction with women from various conflicts, as well as training on policy-impact techniques. Grades are based on policy advocacy writings (op-eds, letters to editor), mini-cases (scrutinizing students’ own experiences), and a mock policy briefing with an analytical briefing paper. Role-play, debate, and small group work amplify learning opportunities beyond required readings and lectures.
Course meets intensively from 9 a.m.–5 p.m., unless otherwise specified, January 2 – 21 except for most weekends (Saturday and Sunday), Friday, January 9 and Martin Luther King Day, Monday, January 19.
