Classes begin this week at Notre Dame, with peace studies undergraduate, master’s, and doctoral students enrolled in more than 50 peace-related courses.
Students assembled for class in the morning and in the afternoon, on this and that side of the Atlantic, in North America and Europe, all together and at the same time. Throughout these confusing arrangements, it hardly seems necessary to add, the television was left on.
The University of Notre Dame has established a doctoral program in peace studies. One of the few of its kind in the world, the program is a partnership between the institute and the departments of history, political science, psychology and sociology.
