Plowshares - A Peace Studies Collaborative of Earlham, Goshen and Manchester Colleges

Students light candles at a campus peace vigil.

In the final analysis, love is not this sentimental something that we talk about. It’s not merely an emotional something. Love is creative, understanding goodwill for all men. It is the refusal to defeat any individual. When you rise to the level of love, of its great beauty and power, you seek only to defeat evil systems. Individuals who happen to be caught up in that system, you love, but you seek to defeat the system.

Martin Luther King Jr.

Syllabi Collected from Courses Comprising the Peace Studies Programs of the Collaborating Colleges

Goshen, Manchester and Earlham each offer a Peace Studies major. Their curricula have both similar and unique courses. To both inform the faculty of the respective campuses and provide a resource for others interested in teaching peace studies courses we are in the process of accumulating course syllabi. They will be posted here. Copyright for these syllabi is held by the individual faculty and those interested in the content of a particular syllabi should correspond with the individual faculty member.
