This course aims at learning and practicing methodological skills drawn from Peace Studies in order to enrich students academic research and writing abilities at a postgraduate level. The particular approach of this course is based on the assumption that peace is plural, i.e. it derives from a post-positivist understanding of being and hence knowledge. As such, students are to engage actively as researchers in direct relation to their research interests and subjects of research. Students will choose a topic that falls into peace studies and, based on input from the facilitator and mainly individual and collaborative work, develop a short project proposal by the end of the course. The proposal will be peer-discussed as a way of gaining insights from classmates to hand in the final version.
