IP 537 Restorative Justice
(3 Credits)
Restorative Justice (RJ) has grown exponentially over the last 30 years, from a handful of programs offering victim/offender conferences to hundreds of programs worldwide and has become a social movement. Very few people disagree with the need for to reform the present criminal justice system and suggestions for change abound: from privatizing prisons, to making laws more just and fair, to getting tough on crime, to creative experimental new programs in education, Restorative Justice is a growing social movement that begins with a fundamental rethinking of the very nature of what justice is. RJ offers a model that facilitates a vision of justice that is participatory for those involved in and affected by harmful behavior, potentially empowering to victims, offenders, and, in some cases, the affected community, and holds the goal of making right (as much as possible) the harm caused by the offending behavior. At present RJ is a fairly broad umbrella of practices, including victim-offender mediation, family group conferencing, peacemaking circles, victim-offender dialogue in crimes of severe violence, truth and reconciliation commissions, and others.
The present course compares the ethos and implications these programs as they impact and/or challenge current judicial practices, explores strengths and weaknesses of Restorative Justice in current discussion, investigates emerging areas of practice such as in prison populations and schools, and traces the role of facilitators in Restorative Justice practices. As a social movement, Restorative Justice is inherently political, aiming to change the status quo. Therefore questions such as, “How can Restorative Justice change the body politic in terms of its understanding about justice?” “Who are the stakeholders in the present system and how can they be addressed?” and “What role can Restorative Justice play outside of the legal code or judicial system?” are raised.

IP 540 Organizing, Advocacy and Activism
From movements around climate change, gay rights, and immigration, to #BlackLivesMatter, Occupy Wall Street, the Serbian revolution, and the Arab Spring, a new generation is unleashing strategic nonviolent action to shape public debate and force political change. This course will ask why these movements seek political change by organizing disenfranchised groups of people, or by engaging in the non-violent activism of mass protest, rather than more traditional avenues of political advocacy. The seminar will use readings and class discussion to survey essential elements amongst many social movements; enable students to produce a video interview to tell the story of a movement; and teach students to draft their own comprehensive campaign plan. No prior knowledge or experience is expected of students who take this course.

IP 543 Peace Perspectives of World Religions
(3 Credits)
Although religious differences often create barriers to peace making, and at times, people create conflict in the name of their religion, all the major religious traditions also have roots that go deep into the soil of peace making and peaceful living. This class explores the roots of peace making in Buddhism, Islam, Judaism, Christianity, Hinduism, Indigenous American Religions, and others, and from these roots build bridges of common ground, understanding and acceptance of the other. In addition to the five major religious perspectives studied, students will have an opportunity to explore a religious tradition of their own choosing and present a paper on it for class. The class will include lectures, large and small group discussions, role plays, visiting speakers, videos and student presentations.

IP 565 Transitional Justice and Reconciliation
(4 Credits)
Undergraduate and IPCR Graduate Course
This seminar focuses on six natural resources, which humans manipulate to give and take life: air, water, trees, oil, coal, and minerals. Set against the current epoch known as the Anthropocene, students are introduced to how and why natural resources attract competition, conflict, and war around the world. Drawing on real-world case studies, we explore ways to understand the relationship between natural resources, race, and conflict and the effects of this relationship on geopolitics and peacemaking. We conclude by examining ways in which natural resource conflicts might be managed and/or resolved through political action. Assignments include, social media journalism, natural resource podcast production, and environmental policy dossier.

IP 574 NGOs in International Politics: Concepts and Challenges
(3 Credits)
Since the end of World War II, there has been a steady increase in the numbers of transnational non-governmental organizations (TNGOs) working across borders on issues as diverse as emergency relief, women’s rights, environmental sustainability and fair trade. In the 1990s, the TNGO sector expanded at an unprecedented rate and the amount of money channeled through these organizations sky-rocketed. Consequently, political scientists started paying more attention to the purpose, activities, power, and authority of TNGOs. This course examines key conceptual issues surrounding the legitimacy, authority, power and accountability of TNGOs with the objective of fostering a clear understanding of the unique role TNGOs play in international politics. We will also consider the challenges NGOs face in the international system. We will discuss: the tactics TNGOs employ to effectuate change; the relationship between TNGOs and the military; the funding landscape; the dark side of TNGO policies and the relationship between TNGOs from the Global South and the Global North. The course is grounded in case studies that explore TNGOs activities in the realms of women’s rights, human rights, development, peace-building, environmental protection and emergency relief.

IS 530 Social Life of War: Political, Cultural and Identity Processes in Global Conflict
This course explores war and violent conflict from a socio-cultural perspective. Not only do war and violent conflict result in humanitarian crises at the social level and atrocities and tragedy at the personal level, but they also fundamentally alter people’s social worlds, life trajectories, imagined communities and understanding of their position in time and space. As economic and political structures become destabilized or changed, war and violent conflict radically rupture social realities in ways that outlive the original conflict. The course explores the ways in which war and violent conflict reshape social structures, create new cultural processes in reaction to altered reality, and reconstitute identities. Students read and discuss ethnographic accounts that show how war and violent conflict are experienced at the personal, cultural and social level. This course enhances and complicates understandings of what conflict is and what it means for people and social groups who are forced to endure it.

IS 540 Law, Disorder and Globalization
In the late 20th century, there was a global turn towards criminalization and incarceration as responses to social problems—to “disorder.” While justified by claims about increases in crime, this “penal turn” often precedes such increases, and so cannot be explained by crime rates alone. The politics of crime are a useful way to examine many social and political changes, such as the criminalization of poor and African-American youth and “urban decline” in U.S. inner cities. This course will examine how these politics help construct inequality in the U.S.; we will also consider how they shape international relationships between the U.S., Europe, and nation-states in Latin America and Africa. As part of this, we will examine how criminalization creates social hierarchies, in which some types of people and some nation-states are seen as inherently criminal and disorderly. We will discuss a range of specific cases that allow us to understand the factors that motivate the penal turn, exploring the ways the penal turn has material consequences that encourage future criminalization, such as for-profit prisons.
