SC 339 - Social Conflict

(3.00 cr.)

War and violent conflicts within society are unfortunately a pervasive feature of our global landscape. While conflicts are inevitable, violent conflicts are not. In this course, students explore the ways in which inequality and injustice relate to social conflict. Moreover, students increase their understanding of the conditions under which social conflicts tend to become violent and how they can be resolved nonviolently. A highlight around which much of the course is built is SIMSOC, a game simulation of society.
