The Trudeau Centre for Peace, Conflict and Justice administers the program in Peace, Conflict and Justice, in the Munk School of Global Affairs.
The Peace, Conflict and Justice program provides undergraduates with an interdisciplinary education covering three central pillars: the meanings and causes of conflict, peace, and justice; the lived experiences of living in the context of conflict and struggles for peace and justice; and approaches to resolving conflict and producing peace and/or justice. The topics of study are wide-ranging, including the study of peacemaking and peace-building, interstate war and intrastate conflicts, insurgencies, revolutions and rebellions, ethnic strife, global justice, and negotiation theory. In so doing, we address some of the world’s most urgent humanitarian problems, and train students to deeply analyze these issues across several levels of analysis, from the local through the national and the global. Students interested in this program are strongly encouraged to consider pursuing a double major in related fields, especially International Relations. Other related fields include: Political Science, Sociology, Anthropology, Geography, History, Diaspora and Transnational Studies, Nutritional Sciences, and Psychology.

This is a limited enrolment program that can only accommodate a limited number of students. Admission is determined by a range of criteria, including at the initial stage a student's academic background, a statement of interest in the program, and as a later stage of the process, a personal interview on invitation of the Program Director. In some cases, reference letters may be requested by the Program Director. In the past, enrolment in Peace, Conflict and Justice has proven to be extremely competitive across all these dimensions, and an applicant's success in any one of these dimensions does not necessarily guarantee admission to the program in any given year.
(12 full courses or their equivalent, including at least one 400-series course)
1. HIS103Y1/ECO100Y1/ECO105Y1; (PSY100H1 + PSY220H1)/SOC101Y1; POL208Y1. Except for POL208Y1, substitutions may be permitted for other introductory courses in relevant disciplines, based on a student’s rationale and on approval of the Program Director.
2. PCJ260Y1; PCJ360H1+PCJ361H1/PCJ361Y1; PCJ460H1; PCJ461H1
3. Three FCEs from one of Groups A, B, C, D, E or F (below), or substitutions with a rationale that must be approved by the Program Director. Students may substitute from different disciplines or with different courses from within these disciplines. At least one FCE must be at the 300+-level.
4. Three complementary FCEs with either a disciplinary, regional, or thematic focus relevant to Peace, Conflict and Justice(on approval of the Director, based on the needs of students’ interdisciplinary programs of study). At least two FCEs must be at the 300+-level. Upt to 1.0 FCEs of MUN courses may be used to fulfill this requirement, subject to approval by the Director.
Disciplinary focus:
3 FCEs from one of ANT, ECO, GGR and Environmental Studies (combined), HIS, HPS, PHL, POL, PSY, RLG, SLA, SOC, or from other units with a rationale approved by the Program Director.
(Note: The disciplinary focus in this cluster must be different from the discipline chosen in requirement 3. For instance, HIS is excluded for students who have taken 3 HIS FCEs to meet requirement 3; POL is excluded for students who have taken 3 POL FCEs, etc. )
Regional Studies focus:
3 FCEs on, for example, Canada, Southern Africa, the Middle East, Latin America, or the Slavic countries.
Thematic focus:
3 FCEs on a thematic topic proposed by the student and approved by the Program Director. Examples include negotiation and conflict resolution, diplomatic history, gender and conflict, morality of war, quantitative analysis, group-identity conflict, economic development and conflict, literature, culture, and everyday life of conflict, or environmental change and conflict.
Note: Substitutions for any of the below (Groups A through F) are allowable, if accompanied by a rationale regarding a student’s specific program of study that must be approved by the Program Director. This is not a strict list, and students may in their program rationale substitute courses from different disciplines or with different courses from within these disciplines below. Please note that not all courses may be offered in a given year, and students are responsible for checking and meeting co- and prerequisites for all courses.
