The research group War, Peace and Justice (WPJ) focuses on the complex issues of global conflicts, peace, and justice, with teaching excellence as a core function. Theory and practice come together here, creating a dynamic learning environment for both staff and students.

Teaching excellence is one of the core functions of the War, Peace and Justice (WPJ) research group. WPJ members engage in diverse forms of public engagement, but all share a commitment to education. Our classrooms are not simply places to teach but venues for staff and students to learn together. The WPJ group includes both theoretical and practical experts, with expertise ranging from the history of ideas to the practical conduct of war, peace, and justice today.

Teaching in bachelor’s and master’s programmes

​​​​​​​The primary pedagogical venue for WPJ members is the War and Peace Studies track within the Crisis and Security Management Master’s programme. Members also teach across the Institute of Security and Global Affairs (ISGA), including the Bachelor Security Studies, several of the Institute’s minor programmes, and the advanced Master in International Relations and Diplomacy, and provide doctoral supervision.
