<strong>The</strong> planet faces a set of interrel<strong>at</strong>ed challenges<br />
rel<strong>at</strong>ed to violence and war, peacemaking and<br />
peacebuilding, justice and human rights and,<br />
increasingly, environmental degrad<strong>at</strong>ion and clim<strong>at</strong>e<br />
change. <strong>The</strong> Peace and Justice Studies Program<br />
(PJS) was founded to provide students an academic<br />
means to understand these crises and to explore the<br />
means for achieving a just peace and sustainability.<br />
To this end, PJS has cre<strong>at</strong>ed an interdisciplinary<br />
course structure which examines the obstacles,<br />
conditions, and p<strong>at</strong>hs to addressing these challenges.<br />
It also explores the ways th<strong>at</strong> governmental and<br />
nongovernmental organiz<strong>at</strong>ions, social movements,<br />
and individuals have confronted such problems and<br />
worked to resolve them. This structure is also<br />
designed to develop students’ critical and analytical<br />
skills as well as competencies in fields th<strong>at</strong> contribute<br />
towards peace and social transform<strong>at</strong>ion.<br />
Five overlapping areas of study are emphasized:<br />
• the causes of war, the techniques of war<br />
prevention, and the conditions and structures<br />
of a just peace;<br />
