Overview
Peace and Conflict Studies is taught through an interdisciplinary social science/humanistic approach incorporating elements of sociology, political science, history, philosophy, psychology, social anthropology, geography, economy and religious studies. It combines a general introduction to peace and conflict studies with a specific focus on the South Asia region and theories and cases of conflict resolution and peacebuilding. The course activities (lectures, discussions, seminars, excursions, assignments, examination) as well as the literature are all in English. The first part of the course is a 5-week web-based self-studies. After this, the students leave for India to attend the regular course based on classroom teaching. During the 10 weeks in India there will be lectures, seminars and group work on weekdays. 30 two-hour lectures will cover the curriculum. A permanent seminar teacher will hold approximately 10 seminars during the ten weeks in India. The seminars are primarily a forum where students take part in discussions of their own work.
Kulturstudier is the initiative of a group of social scientists in Norway. The concept has since the beginning in 1997 been to offer university courses of high pedagogical and academic quality in locations that offer unique experiences of culture and nature. In addition to great academic achievements and new friends our students benefit from colourful experiences from a foreign culture which most return to later in life. Our study-centres in India, Nicaragua and Vietnam are our dream come true. There we have administrative and academic staffs that manage some of the world's most beautiful places to the benefit of our students and our selves. Culture studies offers courses in development studies. We also offer courses in social/cultural anthropology, psychology and comparative religion, which so far is only taught in Norwegian language.
