Welcome to the European Wasatia Graduate School for Peace and Conflict Resolution
The trilateral European Wasatia Ph.D. Programme for Peace and Conflict Resolution aims to analyse conceptions of and conditions for reconciliation in the Middle East. It refers to overarching discourses from different academic disciplines (Middle East and Political Sciences, Philosophy, Sociology, Law, Theology, Literature and Media Studies) and with regard to the German context (dealing with a dual past). Other international areas of conflict (Northern Ireland, South Africa, the Balkans) are considered relevant for initiating mutual learning processes among the Ph.D. students. The analysis of social, legal, political and (inter-)religious conditions for reconciliation is combined with learning practical dialogue skills (such as Holocaust education and Scriptural Reasoning). The aim is to train multipliers capable of fostering dialogue to address social challenges (particularily in the field of anti-Semitism) at both academic and civil society levels.
