Religion and Global Issues into the 21st Century: Implications for Teaching and Learning Symposium
The Conflict Resolution Institute was proud to join The Center for Sustainable Development and International Peace (CSDIP) at the University of Denver’s Josef Korbel School of International Studies and the Iliff School of Theology for this initiative, one of three parts of a project supported by Henry Luce Foundation’s Initiative on Religion in International Affairs.
CSDIP is engaged in a three-year project on the overall theme of religion in deeply divided societies that also includes a research track that has yielded an edited volume, " Between Terror and Tolerance: Religious Leaders and Conflict Management in Deeply Divided Societies." Related to this research is a second track of policy consultations on the ways in which the findings of the research connects with the work of the United Nations in its engagement in conflict prevention, peacemaking, and post-conflict peacebuilding.
The third track of the project focuses on education in religion and international affairs and the development of new upper-division undergraduate and graduate-level course materials. This work features the development of six new course modules for a new resource website.
Course themes include:
-
Religious Traditions and Contemporary Human Rights
-
Religion, the State and Governance in the 21st Century
-
Religion War and Peace Processes
-
Religion and Post-Conflict Peacebuilding
-
Religion and the Environment
