| Objectives |
Through the Master’s Degree, the Department of Gender and Peace Education expects to:
Respond to the demands and challenges faced by students who are continuing their education and mid-career professionals who are working in government, multi-lateral or bi-lateral institutions, non-governmental organizations and private enterprises.
Empower men and women to become more effective players in the processes of peace with the clear understanding that conflict, violence, and war have a variety of impacts upon men and women that, while comparable, are not the same.
Provide a solid education in the prevention, management, and resolution of conflicts, including post-conflict interventions, from a gender perspective.
Offer a theoretical and practical approach to the field of gender studies using material drawn from the fields of Anthropology, Development Studies, Economics, History, Human Rights, Law, Natural Resources, Political Science, Religion, and Sociology. |
