PACS 35095 PEACEBUILDING IN COLOMBIA COLLABORATIVE
Colombia recently ended one of the world’s longest wars by negotiating the world’s most inclusive peace agreement, which addresses gender, race, and sexuality. These provisions were controversial and Colombians voted against the first version of the accord. Learn about the conflict, the peace process, and ongoing struggles to implement the accords, with a focus on inclusive peace measures. This course is a collaboration with the Universidad del Rosario and the organization Witness for Peace and led by Sara Koopman, an assistant professor of peace and conflict studies.
