Program Overview

The mission of the Peace and Justice Studies Program is to help students gain the knowledge and skills necessary to become active, positive contributors to decisions, policies, and leadership in their communities and work places.

Peace and Justice Studies addresses themes of conflict resolution, nonviolent social change, human rights, social and environmental justice, and peacemaking efforts on the local, regional and global levels. A Peace and Justice Studies minor can fruitfully complement practically any major offered at Warren Wilson College.

The goals of the Peace and Justice Studies Program are the following:

  1. To develop knowledge of the causes of conflicts and the ways of preventing or resolving them.
  2. To learn how respect for human rights and the natural environment contributes to peace.
  3. To become conversant with peace philosophies and the works of major peace advocates.
  4. To apply conflict resolution skills to contemporary issues.
