Hello and hope assessment on youth and peace in action

Is positive peace at all applicable and how is it best defined? This page highlights some responses from students in Dr Malaka Shwaikh’s IR3048 and IR3038 courses. The questions are purely reflective, and it was recommended to not use academic or non-academic resources and rely solely on the discussion done within class and in external speakers sessions. The answers, as can be seen, are intriguingly varied. While some show hope, others are far from optimism. But certainly, a great contribution in all those responses, is how they provide a more critical, decolonial and intersectional approaches and lens to understand the questions, challenging the more conventional ways of examining peace.
