Point of Pride

The Peace and Conflict Resolution Studies program fosters campus-community connections and awards the Community Peace Prize annually to a resident of Bloomington-Normal who has a strong track record of leadership and community service.

Why study Peace & Conflict Resolution?

The inquiry encompasses micro and macro perspectives. At the micro end of the spectrum, students investigate nonviolent ethics and conflict management; inner, aesthetic, and spiritual peace; interpersonal communication and relations; inter group relations; and diversity and gender issues. At the macro level, students explore the dynamics of international conflict, as well as approaches to peace and world order; ethnic and socioeconomic justice; multiculturalism; renewable economics; and biodiversity.
