Summary
Individuals around the world deal daily with issues of distress, conflict, and, all too often, violence. From intrapersonal struggles to sweeping forms of mass destruction, such as war and genocide, issues of peace and conflict affect all of our lives. Additionally, institutional, societal, and structural forms of violence perpetuate injustices against marginalized individuals and communities based on differences such as income, gender, and ethnicity. Peace psychology is cross-cultural in perspective with an eye toward addressing issues of diversity across all topics. Thus, it is not difficult to ensure that teachers of peace psychology integrate culture into their classes. Although the topic of this chapter is the integration of culture into a peace psychology course, the chapter may be most useful to teachers of other courses. In fact, many peace psychology topics can easily be integrated across the psychology curriculum as a means to infuse issues of diversity and culture into more traditional psychology coursework. Hence, peace psychology is not just a path to understanding the importance of culture and diversity but also a gateway to integrating such topics across a range of psychology courses.
