FYS 1267 - Psychology of Violence and Nonviolence

Credits: 4
This seminar will address questions about violence and nonviolence that are “close to the heart” but that often remain without satisfactory answers because our thinking about these topics is laden with fear and misconceptions. Sound knowledge about how violence works is hard to come by; good research has been done, but has not been clearly communicated. Likewise, awareness of how nonviolence works is scarce, although there is a good correspondence between the successes of nonviolence and what is known from research on violence reduction. This course will put good information about violence and nonviolence in front of students, with the aim of fixing some of these gaps and misunderstandings.
