Do women have an identifiably different way of leading? What structural/institutional/cultural obstacles do women face? How are how issues relating to women and leadership similar and/or different across cultures?How are innovation and creativity tools for women and leadership?

F2721 THE COMPARATIVE STUDY OF PEACE, CONFLICT & RELIGION (3-4 credits)

This course explores the vitally important question of the role of religion in contemporary world affairs. We shall place special focus on the comparative assessment of religion’s impact both on conflict creation and conflict resolution. In what ways has religious faith engendered economic, political, and military conflict; in what ways has religion served a peace-making function in contemporary social and political life; and what is the impact of leaders’ actions/decisions? We live, as one noted commentator remarks, in a world awash with the claims of religious truth. We shall assess in an objective manner, free both from any proselytizing and from a presumptive cynicism about religious faith, critically important questions for the global community today.

All courses are taught in English and fully accredited and each course earns 3 US/ 6 ECTS university credits . Transcripts are issued by Charles University, the oldest university in Eastern Europe. Most students are able to transfer credit from the program as long as arrangements are made in advance with their home university. Please consult your home university prior to attending the program for specific details on transferring credit
