As a foundation course for the peace studies program, this graduate seminar attempts to "rethink" key approaches and concepts in the study of peace and conflict resolution, with a special focus on Memory, Translation and Dialogue. To this end, we have organized an international workshop on "Rethinking Peace Studies" with invited participants on 9/20 to coincide with the International Day of Peace (9/21). The first part of the course willintroduce students to different concepts of peace and the development of peace and conflict theory. The second part will examine the role which Memory, Translation and Dialogue can play in rethinking Peace and Conflict Studies.

1. To understand the key theoretical approaches in Peace and Conflict studies;
