The first module – “The Concepts and Values of Peace and Conflict Studies” got under-way today. The lecturers are Dr. Tom Woodhouse from Bradford University and author of Contemporary Conflict Resolution and Irene Santiago Chair and CEO of the Mindanao Commission on Women and Convenor of Mothers for Peace in the Philippines.
We went into a recap of many of the theories of the founding figures of peace studies such as John Burton, Johan Galtung, Kenneth Bouldering and John Paul Lederach etc. I’m looking forward to getting into more concepts as the week goes on.
