Peace, Conflict and Justice Major (Arts Program) - ASMAJ1228

Peace, Conflict and Justice Major (Arts Program) - ASMAJ1228

The Peace, Conflict and Justice at the Munk School of Global Affairs & Public Policy is an interdisciplinary academic program that focuses on conditions, causes and effects of conflict, peace, and justice. In this program, students analyze socio-political conditions and policies, economic and cultural phenomena, historical events, and empirical research related to peace, conflict, and justice. Students also have opportunities to assess, conceptualize, and generate solutions that pave the way for conflict resolution, promote peace, and achieve greater justice. The topics of study are diverse, including the study of peacemaking and peacebuilding, human rights, legacies of war, interstate war and intrastate conflict, violence in protests and collective action, ethnic conflict, inequities in social policies such as health, gender, and education. Students select from a wide range of core and elective courses related to PCJ. The program has a strong emphasis on collaboration and teamwork through involvement in hands-on, real-life experiential learning. Moreover, students strengthen their research skills through training in various research methodologies. Our academic program allows students to understand issues of peace, conflict, and justice at multiple levels - local, national, regional, and global. Students interested in this program may consider pursuing a double major in related fields, such as International Relations, Political Science, Economics, Geography, Sociology, Anthropology, History, Environmental Studies, Indigenous Studies, Diaspora and Transnational Studies, Ethics, Society and Law, and Women and Gender Studies.

Enrolment Requirements:

While we welcome students with diverse experiences, this is a limited enrollment program that can accommodate a limited number of students. Admission is determined by a range of criteria, including the student's academic records from their first year of studies, short essays, a writing sample, a resume, and a video submission. In the past, enrollment in Peace, Conflict and Justice has proven to be extremely competitive across all of these dimensions, and an applicant's success in any one of these dimensions does not necessarily guarantee admission to the program in any given year.
