SBG025 Introduction to Peace and Conflict Studies, February 2022
Transforming Violent Extremism through Systemic Leadership, Understanding and Design
Practice-based Introduction to Peace and Conflict Studies module—focussed on violent extremism; with two distinct layers of learning. 1) Students learn how systems thinking, human-centred design, and persuasive technology can be used together to discern, design and mobilise more effectively for complex systems that are shaping the lives and decisions of people at risk of committing to violence. 2) Students learn how to develop team intelligence from the experience of untangling and addressing extremism. Through reflective practice, they develop deeper awareness about how their own behaviours and group interactions encourage or inhibit flow of information and ideas into systemic understanding and impact.
