RELG 5760 - Religion, Violence & Strategy


This course teaches students how to design and evaluate impact-driven strategies with potential to inhibit religion-related violence. Social hostilities and sectarian violence are rising worldwide. Many religious minorities perceive themselves under existential threat from their neighbors, and even from modernity itself. What can be done to interrupt cycles of religion-related violence? Is religion the underlying problem or a critical part of the solution? A concerted effort to stem violence will require strategies to engage religious actors, policymakers, civil society, women, and youth.
