AbstractThis article discusses a seminar‐style course on peace history offered as an option in the general education program at Gwynedd Mercy University since the Spring 2020 semester. After describing the context that led to the development of the course, it outlines features of the course syllabus, such as course topics, assignments, and resources. It offers specific suggestions for reading material and other content, discussion threads, in‐class activities, options for short essays, and research paper topics. Instructors may find the syllabus helpful as a catalyst for developing ideas for their own course emphasizing peace as a theme in history or as a source for topics about peace to include piecemeal in syllabi in survey and other courses.

This chapter addresses developments in European peace advocacy and protest since 1914. During this period, two wars of unprecedented destruction and brutality, shifting political circumstances, and a dizzying pace of technological innovation influenced how Europeans thought about peace and how to transform it from a utopian vision into the status quo. The ideological orientations, forms of organization, and modes of action of the peace movements that arose in Europe over the course of the turbulent past century were as new as the circumstances that shaped them but also reflected a long tradition of ideas, approaches, and institutions pertaining to peace.

Assignments that pair students with seniors to record oral histories are nothing new nor is service learning. 1Service learning in general seeks to inspire students to look beyond the walls of the classroom and move into the community so that they can connect and apply what they've learned in coursework with the reality oflived human experience. 2 Seeking to understand history is fundamentally about seeking to understand humanity (one's own and others'), which is the thread that binds service with learning.Service learning is a more far-reaching and sustained experience than "volunteering" in that it requires continual reflection about the connections between coursework and service.It also involves reciprocity, the recognition that those serving and those being served each have something to offer the other through their interaction.Since 2008 I have assigned a service-learning project in my university's common core history course that partners my students with residents at Foulkeways, a nearby senior community.Each student visits and interviews a partner several times with the aim of producing some form ofbiographical presentation and a separate reflection paper that analyzes the experience from the student's perspective.The particular value in this project is in how it emphasizes to students that the process is not just about learning details about the seniors and the past that they lived through; it is also about their relationship with their partner and what happens as they talk to each other about their lives in a way that links past, present, and future .This description of the project begins with thumbnail sketches of the university, its students, and the course to provide some 1 The literature exploring oral history as service learning is voluminous and continues to grow.Some examples that have contributed to my own reflections on this topic include Vicki L.

The question of Alsace and Lorraine had a profound influence in shaping the identity and program of the French peace movement between 1871 and 1918. It framed the French peace movement’s attitudes on specific issues ranging from national self-determination to the arms race and led French peace advocates to emphasize their essential patriotism without contradicting their commitment to the principles of internationalism. As a result, the French peace movement linked revanchism to the creation of an international tribunal that would resolve the question of Alsace and Lorraine through juridical methods. The French peace movement’s connections to republicanism underlay its assertion that the question of the provinces had to be resolved as a prerequisite to assuring international peace. If not, the alternative would be the dominance of militarism as the ethos of international relations.

This article addresses the shifting meaning of “pacifism” in the idiom of French political culture from the time the word was first introduced until the end of the First World War. “Le pacifisme” was intended as a way to forge a common identity for the different groups that composed the growing international peace movement at the turn of the twentieth century. Particular circumstances in France during that time influenced how its meaning was appreciated by the French authorities and general public, including the French peace movement's own indeterminate organizational structure and the manipulative mode of discourse employed by French nationalists during a period of intense political polarization. The turmoil of the First World War ensured that the ambiguity that already characterized the use of the word “pacifism” emerged as a full‐blown transformation in the word's meaning within French political discourse.
