Learning Outcomes:
Thematic specialisation: Conflict, peace-building and religion
The thematic specialisation is covered by two modules: (1) Conflict and Peace-Building and (2) Religion and Humanitarian Action.
Conflict and Peace-Building focuses on concepts and theories of conflict resolution, peace-making/peace-building with a specific relevance for situations of humanitarian disaster situations, and the conditions and consequences of humanitarian action in conflict situations
Religion and Humanitarian Action looks at the benefits and challenges that religion poses to the humanitarian field, including the contribution that religion can have for initiating and sustaining conflicts and how religious actors can contribute to peace-building efforts.
Uppsala’s specialisation is complemented by a module in Advanced Management – which builds upon the course held in the first semester and focuses on leadership, security and logistics – and a course in Methodology, which covers different methods of data collection and how methods are incorporated into academic research
