Lucia Luna Victoria Indacochea

Description: This seminar will examine the causes and factors leading to the internal armed conflicts in Colombia and Peru. The decades-long civil wars between left-wing guerrillas and corrupt governments shaped the political and social worlds of these post-conflict countries. The course will examine the case studies in-depth, as well as investigate theories on violence, revolution, and transitional justice. Students will analyze civil society's efforts to old the guerrillas and state accountable for human rights abuses, as well as the remaining fights to end drug trafficking and corruption. 

The assignments include leading discussions, two seminar papers, and peacemaking zine project. For more information please email: lunavictoria@ucdavis.edu
