PEACE AND JUSTICE STUDIES | NYC CO-CURRICULAR The Peace and Justice Student Association is dedicated to social justice, exploring issues regarding peace and justice, and discovering how students can work for peace and justice in their own communities. The Peace and Justice Studies (PJS) Program on Pace University’s New York City campus examines direct, structural and environmental violence; theories and practice of nonviolence and conflict transformation; restorative justice; and interdisciplinary perspectives on peace-building and peace-making. The program reflects our commitment to theory and practice in this interdisciplinary field and is consistent with Pace University’s mission of civic engagement and global citizenship. Pace University’s New York City campus is centrally located, minutes from the financial district, United Nations, World Trade Center, the Courts, theater district and is immersed in a diverse, urban community. Drawing on this setting, we offer faculty with specialties in peace and conflict studies, restorative justice, nonviolence, gender, humanitarian aid, religion and peace building, postcolonial theory, developmental studies, and reconciliation and transitional justice. Beyond the classroom, students engage in a wide range of service learning placements and internships. FACULTY Emily Welty is the Director of the Peace and Justice Studies Program on the New York City campus. She is co-author of Unity in Diversity: Interfaith Dialogue in the Middle East and Occupying Political Science: the Occupy Wall Street Movement from New York City to the World.

WHY STUDY PEACE AND JUSTICE STUDIES? Peace and Justice Studies is an emerging field which draws on the insights from many different disciplines in order to address conflict and injustice, and critically reflect on peace and social justice issues. Studying PJS allows students from any background or interest to examine issues which are both relevant to their daily lives as well as nationally and internationally. Having a minor in PJS prepares students to pursue careers in non-profits, humanitarian and international aid work, international law, negotiation, diplomacy, mediation, economic development, poverty reduction, restorative justice and more. The PJS minor is a 15-credit, interdisciplinary minor which consists of one mandatory course and 12 elective credits. The only required course is: PJS 101 – Introduction to Peace and Justice Studies (3 credits, offered every semester, AOK 1 and AOK5). www.pace.edu/dyson/pjs
