I served on the Peace and Conflict Studies Committee. We engaged the campus in a wide variety of activities that stress the local, national and international aspects of conflict transformation, including:
1) 2013 Peace and Conflict Studies Summer Workshop
2) 2012 "Exploring Humanitarian Law: American Red Cross
Members of the the committee worked to integrate into their courses the Exploring Humanitarian Law Program (EHL) developed by the American Red Cross. The program is described this way:
"The programme is, above all, aiming to deal with ethical and humanitarian issues arising in armed conflicts, and the main education objectives are to develop awareness of the necessity of existence of humanitarian norms, to understand different perspectives and to encourage interest and the feeling of responsibility for local and international events.
These objectives are to be achieved by treating concrete cases, which serve as an incentive to formulate and focus on the dilemmas and possibly juxtaposed standpoints; finally, possible answers from the point of view of IHL are offered through debate."
