Overview
What you will study
Through problem-based case studies and interdisciplinary learning, the students at the Religious Conflicts and Coping Strategies Summer School provided by University of Bern will learn to use a new analytical model which outlines the various economic, political, social, cultural, and psychological factors which contribute to religious conflicts and their respective relationships to religious convictions, motivations, and protagonists.
Many conflicts, present and past, are perceived and problematized as religious. To date no model for the analysis of religiously connoted conflicts and associated coping strategies has been established which goes beyond the boundaries of individual disciplines or which maps out and explains the complexity of the phenomena. Conflicts involving religion often intensify, elude resolution, or lose their constructive and socializing potential, because strong emotional, factual, and interpretive aspects are interwoven. Established strategies of conflict resolution therefore often reach their limits in such conflicts.
Programme Structure
The program focuses on:
- We will explore several coping strategies for religious conflicts along the lines of three basic concepts: rituals, rhetorics, and regulations.
- The summer school comprises keynote lectures held by high-profile researchers, workshops to train and sharpen students’ competence with coping strategies, a workshop on intercultural learning, and a final one-day seminar with presentations by researchers and students.
