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.
