187 war, genocide, atrocities, and dictatorships emerge into a new and brighter future? Can people and citizens deeply scarred by violence learn to forgive, forget and/or co-exist? Or does true healing require punishment, vengeance, and retribution for crimes past? In this class we balance moral, legal, and psychotherapeutic theories against the realities of historical and contemporary examples. We will examine the solutions proposed so far including the International Criminal Court, Truth Commissions, Memorializations, Reparations etc. We will look at some specific exemplars such as South Africa, Bosnia- Hercegovina, Sri Lanka, Canada, Argentina and others. Offered occasionally. CARM 6668- Organizing Nonviolent Social Change This is a practice course that aims to provide students with the skills necessary to make nonviolent social change happen. It grows out of experiences in legislative advocacy in Washington DC and community mobilization on conflict resolution and federal appropriations allocations for HIV Aids programming. Students will explore some of the practicalities of nonviolent social action and how to participate more effectively in initiatives. Cases of nonviolent struggle, principles of strategy, and the techniques and methods of nonviolent action will be covered. Some skills covered will be: How to frame messages for mobilization, how to raise funding (including taking advantage of internet use), how to work with the media etc. Students will be assigned skill based exercises like creating posters (hard copy or electronic), writing talking points for legislative testimony etc. We will use strategies from Gene Sharp and Saul Alinsky (tutor to Hillary Clinton and President Obama).
