Description
|
The Religion, Conflict and Peacebuilding initiative fosters research, teaching and engaged service in an emerging and important sub-field in the study of religion. The individuals involved in the initiative aim to deepen the understanding of religions' roles in fostering and sustaining violence and conflict, as well as religions' ability to build peace and understanding. We also aim to cultivate, in ourselves and in our students, the skills necessary to be peacebuilders within the various communities in which we are involved.
We will accomplish these goals by drawing on Emory's strengths and distinctiveness as an ethically engaged university, with a broad humanistic perspective in the study of religion, significant ties to the Atlanta community, and an active and productive commitment to international education and service.
