I’m thinking about writing about the current state of peace studies in universities, especially in the US. How have the current climate and events affected the curriculum? How about enrollments? (This is a backhanded way to approach the topic “What is peace today?” in a form that I’m hoping a magazine will find appealing.)

Do you have any leads or thoughts?

(FWIW, I used to teach a course called “Peace and Conflict,” back in the early ’80s. I tried to remove the usual coercive elements, including grading and the teacher-student barrier. Yes, I was that sort of teacher. In fact, I wrote a bad book in dialogue form about nuclear deterrence, called Nuclear Dialogues. The book was actually me working out my issues about the topic. How very fascinating.) [Tags: peace peace_ studies ]
