READ MORE With its regular film and media series, symposia, lectures, grants, fellowships, and unique course electives, the PCON program is actively involved in promoting the study of peace, conflict, and security at Colgate and beyond. About PCON We offer you the opportunity to pursue either a major or a minor in peace and conflict studies. We invite you to join us as we dissect and strive to understand the nature of peace, violence, and conflict within human society. Our approach to this monumental task is interdisciplinary, drawing on research, methods, and insights from all disciplines as we build a fuller understanding of human peace and conflict. We offer you the opportunity to focus your studies on three distinct areas of specialization within the study of global and regional peace and conflict issues: collective violence, human security, and international social justice. These areas of specialization correspond with the concerns of the disciplines and agencies currently assessing conflict and post-conflict societies in the global arena.
