The Faith, Peace, and Justice Program at Boston College sponsors this course as an introduction to the field of Peace Studies.. This course asks: Is it ever ethical to go to war? Is it possible to be ethical in war? And, what does ethical conflict resolution look like? This course investigates these questions primarily using the resources of the Christian theological tradition and the social sciences, as well as engaging with philosophy and film. Special attention will be paid to issues in contemporary warfare and the challenges and promises of peacebuilding.
