This blog marks the beginning of a new semester and a new emphasis in the Religion and Violence course at The University of Queensland on peace and peacebuilding.
The aim of the class is to explore theoretical themes and practical case studies of religious violence and religiously-inspired peacebuilding and non-violence approaches.
The course moves through theoretical frames of religion, violence and peace and reviews the major social, psychological, political and philosophical underpinnings related to the course's overall themes.
Using the basis of the theoretical approaches, the course shifts on an examination of the themes of religion, violence and peace in the major world religions.
Case studies of various wars and conflicts, historically and currently are used to as examples to reflect on the compelling issues of religion, violence and peace.
