War and Peace

Explore business concepts across diverse subjects while immersing yourself deeply in another language, culture, and business landscape.

Overview

War has returned to Europe. The postWorld War 2 peace has been broken. Understanding the deep roots of conflict, and how history can become a tool of warmongers, has never been more urgent. In this series of 16 lectures, we explore cultures of warfare, the consequences of conflict and the possibilities for peace. Trinity’s specialists in the Classics, History of Art and Architecture and History will examine the many facets that contribute to war and peace, and how they were viewed in their times and beyond. The course will examine how warmongers and peacemakers from antiquity to present contributed to what seems to be a permanent succession of war and peace, and how this has been portrayed and received through art, architecture and media.

There will be an opportunity for discussion after each lecture and a small list of recommended reading will be circulated for each session.

Lecturers: Dr Molly Pucci; Dr Patrick Houlihan.
