In the Peace and Conflict Studies program at Butler, you’ll learn the nature and dynamics of violent conflict and the conditions and practice of peace, from the local to the global level. And you’ll also explore the causes of violence—including structural, political, economic, cultural, and environmental injustices, human rights violations, and physical harm.
As a student in our program, you’ll develop the skills necessary to build peace through everyday practices, nonviolent direct action, activism, conflict resolution, diplomacy, and policy change.
