You have now taken both conflict resolution courses and a peace studies course. How This Reflection provides you the opportunity to write about any topic related to Peace Studies of your choice – something that was covered in class or in the readings, or something you would have liked to have covered in the class that was not covered.

WEEKLY JOURNAL ENTRY GUIDELINES:

The weekly papers should attempt to synthesize the assigned readings and in-class videos and readings. However, they should not be a summary of the week’s readings but must be a critical assessment. I do not want book reports. You are expected not only to read the readings, but to analyze/synthesize/critique, and compare/contrast them with additional readings and cases. There are no intellectual restrictions on any additional readings or cases you include in your journal entries. What have you taken from the readings? What are the implications of the topics covered in the readings and the cases?

You could also advance some additional research questions either raised by the authors themselves or by your interpretation of the reading(s). What ramifications does the work have for our understanding of peace and conflict? How do the chapter readings relate to the video or case? What are your personal experiences, knowledge, aspirations, and fears related to the weekly readings? How do the chapter readings relate to your own experiences of peace and conflict?

Something that was covered in class or in the readings.
