Welcome!

This course seeks to provide students with a broad knowledge base about psychological perspectives on violence in its various forms: its causes, consequences, and prevention strategies.  The course will focus on multiple levels of analysis to examine violence including large group phenomena such as regional and international conflict, as well as individual and interpersonal processes. The course exposes students to scientific literature as well as real-world case studies, both historical and current. Pedagogical techniques that promote introspection, engagement, and critical analysis are incorporated.
