SWLF 3807 Social & Political Violence
Winter 2015 Prerequisites: 24 credits completed.
When: Wednesday, 3:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Where: Lecture room A226 Course Director: Manuel Litalien Office: A319 Office Hours: Wednesday, 2:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m., Friday, 1:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. (or by appointment) Telephone: (705) 474-‐3450, extension 4013 E-‐mail: manuell@nipissingu.ca
Course Description:
The course aims at presenting various approaches to explain reasons for violent conflict. It focuses on social and political violence, and their short and long-‐term effects on social development. The topics covered address why and how people turn to violence. They provide a map to conflicts and wars nationally and internationally. The course examines diverse research traditions to comprehend violence in a critical way. It looks at ideologies, social groups and social organizations that nurture the participation of individuals in violent actions. There will be two primary traditions that will be focused on; the first focuses on the “conditions” under which conflicts are produced and the second emphasizes the “attitudes” motivating individuals to engage in conflict. As each tradition possesses its own vocabulary, theoretical distinctions will aim at providing students with a broad spectrum of tools to comprehend the complex, paradoxical relationship between humans and war and violence. For example, though most world nations have ratified the International Bill of Human Rights, intra-‐state conflicts are an enduring reality.
Several questions form the basis of the course. Examples include: − Is a “securitocracy” a solution to conflicts? − Why is war the least important manifestation of political violence today? − Does the impact of gendered violence reach education, religion, ethnicity, race
and social class? − Should the state be the main provider of security for the citizens? − Is the reduction of the role of the state as an economic and political actor linked
to an increase in cross-‐border conflicts?
2
− Are unbalanced economic growth, gaps in income inequality, and underdevelopment the primary causes of global conflicts?
The topics addressed in this twelve-‐week course are by no means exhaustive. The class will examine definitions of “violence,” conflicts, communal conflicts, state violence, genocidal violence, gendered violence, and ethnic violence. Each week is scheduled to cover definitions, theories, and relevant case studies.
Throughout their work and participation, students will be encouraged to adopt a multiple frameworks of analysis, while supporting a coherent ontological and epistemological position to violent conflicts.
While preparing the culminating paper, a “patchwork” of theories is to be avoided, as it risks creating murky knowledge, rather than bringing clarity into the study of violence and its impacts on social development. The course, however, rejects a singular approach to understand or explain violent actions. Theories do provide a set of suppositions to explain reasons behind violent outbreaks. Each theoretical framework allocates a different explanatory weight to a set of variables. In writing their papers, students will identify and explain a violent conflict according to a theory or a set of mutually-‐enforcing theories covered in class. They are strongly encouraged to choose these variables carefully.
Learning expectations (that which students will do and I will measure):
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will have the knowledge and skills to:
1) demonstrate effective critical thinking on issues related to social and political violence.
2) present knowledge of interdisciplinary methodologies and practices in the studies of war, violence, and conflicts.
3) use the ability to summarize critical course content, and engage in group presentations and discussions.
4) avoid the reiteration of commonplace suppositions on the origins of violence.
5) engage in research of the roles of ideologies, social groups and social organizations that foster violent actions.
6) summarize national and transnational behaviors of conflicting actors, social groups and social organizations.

Course Policy:
You must have completed 24 credits to register for this class. Please contact me through email if you are concerned that you may not meet these requirements at manuell@nipissingu.ca.
Course Requirements:
This is a reading-‐intensive class; approximately 50 pages of reading will be assigned per week. Students are expected to have read all assigned material prior to the beginning of each class in order to engage in discussions with the professor and colleagues. All submitted collaborative work (final essay and presentation; see evaluation scheme for more information) should have each section clearly identified by its authors/contributors. All written work must be submitted in Microsoft® Word format (via Blackboard) and in hard copy (paper) format.
Class structure: two parts
1) first 20 minutes: all focus groups (created at the professor’s discretion) will debrief on the weekly required readings.
2) remainder of class: discussion-‐based, wherein the professor will provide a series of focus questions to facilitate the class.
Final Essay (30%)
Two students will work together to compose their final essay. The essay is to focus on one area of your class presentation topic. It should consist of 12-‐15 pages (excluding references).
Presentation (30%)
The presentation is to elaborate on the same topic that you choose for your final essay. You will work on this presentation with the same partner chosen to co-‐compose your final essay. Presentations are to be 12-‐15 minutes in length. A five-‐minute question period, facilitated by the presenters, is to follow each presentation. All notes, slides (PowerPoint, Prezi, Keynote, etc.) must be submitted to the professor after the presentation.
In-‐class tests (20%, or 10% each)
During the semester, a total of two in-‐class comprehension tests will be randomly distributed on the topic of the week. Attendance is mandatory to participate in these tests. In the event of a forthcoming absence due to an extenuating circumstance, please notify the professor in advance.
4
Participation (20%) consists of the following:
1) consistent, active responses to the class discussions, based on critical thought developed from the weekly readings.
2) routine attendance with minimal absence. 3) exploration of theories in application to contemporary social and political issues
regarding violence. 4) the development of one focus question to ask during class.
Guidelines for discussion
Participants are to think of themselves as contributors at a conference or workshop. They are to furnish detailed and constructive feedback on weekly readings. They must strive to make colleagues consider theories in a new way, while considering the implications that may result from one, or many, theoretical concepts.
A strong participant will:
1. Avoid lengthy summary in discussing assigned readings, and instead relay the authors’ key premises.
2. Identify research question(s) as clearly and concisely as possible. 3. Identify authors’ claims, and the theoretical frameworks under which the authors
write. 4. Critically evaluate truths and strengths to the arguments posed by the authors
(underlining any potential for bias in the written work). 5. Locate and validate the strength of the supporting evidence provided by the
authors. 6. Ensure that you use a constructive approach in your evaluations of authors’
works, as well as in contributions to class discussion. 7. Connect the theories from one weekly reading set to the others in the course, to
search for the larger relationships that perpetuate social and political violence.

Statement on Academic Integrity:
Nipissing University values “integrity, empathy, respect, critical analysis, creative thinking, communication, collaboration, invention, insight, innovation, stewardship and action.” The University is “committed to open, respectful discourse and a collegial, diverse, inclusive, healthy and supportive learning environment.” As an institution abiding to the principle of integrity, students must be aware of the consequences of plagiarism. The issue is explained further in the Policy on Academic Dishonesty, found in your University Academic Calendar, available on-‐line directly through Nipissing’s Website (www.nipissingu.ca/calendar). Tools over how to avoid plagiarism can be found on Nipissing University libraries’ website at: http://www.eclibrary.ca/library/HDI-‐avoid-‐plagiarism. All students must understand the meaning and consequences of cheating, plagiarism, and other academic offences.
Film Screenings:
I will show short films and documentaries during the semester to provide broader context to the readings and discussions. These will be presented during regular class time.
Resources:
There is a wide array of scholarly journals on violence to assist students in their research:
