Peace, Justice and Human Rights / Peace and Conflict Studies
Description
Currently there is a Bryn Mawr College / Haverford College Bi-Co concentration in Peace and Conflict Studies, presided over by faculty—and supported by courses—from both colleges. Over the next year or so, the Haverford College component of this concentration will be reorienting itself around the theme of Peace, Justice and Human Rights, and expanding the field’s interdisciplinary aspect.
Students wishing to declare a concentration during the 2009-10 academic year are welcome to join the current Peace and Conflict Studies program. For those who wish to declare later, all courses in the current concentration will count towards the proposed new concentration. Students typically meet with the coordinator in the spring of their sophomore year to work out a plan for the concentration. The coordinator at Bryn Mawr is Marc Ross; at Haverford it is Jill Stauffer.
If you would like more information on the proposed redesign of Haverford's component of the program, please direct questions to Jill Stauffer, the new program’s director.
