Degree Overview

The programme critically examines how different actors are responding to these challenges, including efforts to rethink the assumptions and practices that shape our ways of life, public engagement, contentious collective action and practical efforts to design and create more resilient, sustainable and equitable communities.

You will critically explore themes such as:

  • the contested meanings of peace, resilience and social justice in a complex and changing world;
  • the ways in which scholars, practitioners and activists are analysing and engaging with complex social-ecological systems and crises;
  • creative approaches to conflict engagement, peacebuilding and the pursuit of social justice;
  • your own positioning, responsibilities and vocation as a scholar, practitioner and/or activist within complex systems and relationships.

This course is delivered by the Division of Peace Studies and International Development, which maintains an international reputation as a centre for excellence in research, teaching, training and policy engagement. This means that teaching and learning will be research-informed and led by staff who are well positioned to facilitate policy and practitioner community engagement.
