COURSE DESCRIPTION: | A course on a topic of figure of special interest to a
member of the history faculty and offered on a non-recurring basis.
Prerequisites: HIST 202 or 204 2010/11 Fall Blessed are the peacemakers, said Jesus, and this course offers an interdisciplinary inquiry into the issues of war and peace in the Western tradition. The course will mix philosophical and theological approaches (just war theory, humanitarian intervention, and Christian non-violence, for example) with historical case studies (especially the Crusades and the Second World War but also reaching to contemporary conflicts such as the “War on Terror”). This will be a seminar-style course based on weekly discussion of a common set of readings. The goal is to provide students with a heightened awareness of the range of perspectives on war and peace both in the past and in our world today. Same as POLI 399A and PHES 498A |
