About the Workshops
The Perpetual Peace Project seeks to explore how the discourse of peace is negotiated and understood on the campus of Haverford College. Through seemingly minimal gestures, including media stations, public programs, and student workshops, the Perpetual Peace Project re-imagines academic and cultural spaces at this historically Quaker institution, in order to promote renewed dialogue, interaction, and reflection about peace and conflict in contemporary society.
Seven media stations have been strategically distributed throughout the Haverford College campus in public spaces including cafeterias, libraries, and hallways. At each media station, the Haverford community is invited to view selections from the Perpetual Peace Project film initiative, which features practitioners, philosophers, and the public in conversation about geopolitical conflict and possibilities for perpetual peace (click here for more information).
Preceded by a public conversation with project organizers Aaron Levy, Gregg Lambert, and Martin Rauchbauer, the workshops invited students from a variety of courses to engage in a discussion of Kant's essay on Perpetual Peace, Haverford's historic relationship to peace movements, and contemporary geopolitical events. The courses included "Political Theory: From Plato to Postmodernism," "Applied Ethics of Peace, Justice and Human Rights," "Politics of Globalization," and "Sovereignty." The workshops thus built curricular ties with undergraduate courses concerned with Immanuel Kant's writings on perpetual peace and its contemporary relevance.
