APPENDIX 5: Student-Centred Teaching Philosophy for Peace & Conflict Studies
Student-Centered Teaching Philosophy for Peace and Conflict Studies
Peace and Conflict Studies is an interdisciplinary field of study that analyses conflict and pursues the development of strategies to prevent conflict and to build peaceful societies that are sustainable long- term. More than merely avoiding violence (establishing negative peace), the Peace and Conflict Studies program at UFV aims to construct positive peace in society (social justice). Naturally, a student-centred teaching philosophy for this program is rooted in alleviating pervasive social inequities and unfair resource management through constructing society into a more just social order.
The goal of the student-centred teaching philosophy in the Conflict & Peace Studies program is to facilitate students in an intrinsic learning process, in which students inherently understand the core components of inequality and their ties to conflict, and how to address these inequalities in a robust manner. In order to do this, students will require creativity and an appetite for new ideas and for the discovery of different ways of approaching issues. Thus, spaces in the major are required where ‘big’ human questions are addressed, and where the discussion is wide-ranging, safe, and respectful of differences.
The role of faculty in the teaching process is to acquire distinct competencies, inform students of the context and intellectual framework, to guide students in their conflict analysis, and to suggest a range of possible solutions to the problems. Faculty competencies include knowledge of the field of Peace and Conflict Studies, and knowledge of the subject matter and research in the specific area of study for which he/she is responsible in the program. Instructors require excellent teaching skills, particularly the abilities to facilitate student-led investigation, to assist in resource acquisition, and to suggest approaches and methods in problem-solving. The aim is for program faculty to meet regularly, perhaps once per term, to consider ‘pedagogies for peace,’ i.e., teaching strategies that encourage debate, creativity, and respect for diverse perspectives.
Students form the focal point of the teaching philosophy at all times. Faculty members facilitate the student-led investigations of social inequities and other problems, unfair control and distribution of resources, and wars, and offer suggestions for how students could proceed to analyse and solve these kinds of problems. Using the methods of conflict analysis, students analyse the problems under investigation and expand their scope to include alternate perspectives in problem-solving, i.e., peacebuilding. Ideally, faculty members would model the principles of democratic processes and objectivity, and students would incorporate these models in their decision-making processes. To achieve this, a colloquium has been built into the PACS major (see Program Content grid in the PACS program proposal). All PACS students will participate in the colloquia during the major, and an evaluative component has been incorporated into the Practice (PACS 390/391) and Capstone (PACS 400) courses. The outcome of this training will be graduates who possess the requisite knowledge and skills to identify the conditions in which conflicts emerge, and the most effective approaches that foster the development of peaceful relationships, and sustainable peaceful societies.

APPENDIX 7: Library Resources
Peace Studies Program Proposal Library Collections and Services November 2013
A. Library Facilities
The Abbotsford campus library is located in the Peter Jones Learning Commons, close to the Writing Centre, Instructional Media Services, food services, and a computer lab with more than 70 stations. The Abbotsford campus library is a bright and attractive facility, offering quiet and group study rooms, audio-visual viewing stations, numerous study carrels, wireless computer access, and computer workstations for student research. A 26 seat instructional lab with printing facilities is available for teaching library classes and is used by students when not reserved for instruction.
The Chilliwack campus library is located in the Canada Education Park. Surrounded in glass, the new library is an attractive learning space with plenty of bright and natural light as well as a variety of informal learning spaces for students and faculty to use, such as: 2 bookable group study rooms, 22 quiet-study carrels, 4 group work tables, 2 areas of soft-seating, an instructional computer lab that will act as a drop-in lab for students when not booked by Learning Commons partners (Library, Writing Centre, Math Centre, Teaching & Learning) as well as 16 desktop computer stations and wireless access throughout the entire space.
Library Hours
The Abbotsford campus library is open year-round. In response to student requests, the library expanded its weekend hours in Fall 2006. Hours for the Abbotsford campus library from September to April are:
Monday - Thursday ...... 8 am - 10 pm Friday ...... 8 am - 6 pm Saturday ...... 10 am - 6 pm Sunday ...... 12 pm - 6 pm
Hours for the Chilliwack campus library from September to April are:
Monday - Thursday ...... 8 am – 8:30 pm Friday ...... 8 am – 4:30 pm Saturday ...... 10 am - 4 pm Sunday ...... Closed
Both libraries offers reduced evening and weekend hours May through August.
B. Reference Services
The UFV Library provides excellent reference services to students, faculty and staff at UFV. We pride ourselves in our service levels, providing students with a high level of individual attention. Our 2005 UFV Library Collections and Services for Peace Studies (November 2013) Page 2
LibQual+ survey results identified two of our strongest areas as “Employees who instill confidence in users” and “giving users individual attention.”
Reference librarians are available to answer in-person questions during almost all of our opening hours. In addition, we offer reference service by telephone, fax, and email. We also offer 30-minute appointments with our reference librarians on request. To view our online request forms, see:
Email: http://www.ufv.ca/library/contact_us/request.htm Reference appointment: http://journals.ufv.ca/library/extendedref/
From April 2011-March 2012, we answered 28,672 reference questions, and this is typical of the volume of questions we handle annually.
Since September 2006, our reference services and hours have been greatly enhanced by our participation in a Collaborative Virtual Reference service called Askaway, which provides online reference service using web-based software. Askaway is coordinated by the BC Electronic Library Network and its partner libraries. The current hours for this service are:
Sunday - Thursday ...... 10 am - 9 pm Friday - Saturday ...... 11 am - 5 pm
Students and faculty are able to chat with a librarian both on and off campus and receive synchronous assistance with their library and research needs.
AskAway statistics are up over 95% over last year, primarily because of the introduction of the new AskAway Qwidget (see image at right). Qwidgets are mini-chat boxes that participating libraries can place anywhere on their web site, putting AskAway right where patrons need it. UFV added Qwidgets to the Library web site in Spring of 2008. UFV Librarians answered 877 questions from April 1, 2012 - March 31, 2013 (245 days of actual service).
C. Internet Services
1. Library Web Site http://www.ufv.ca/library
The UFV library has an extensive web site which provides a gateway to our library collections and services. Our online catalogue (SIRSI I-Link) is available on the internet with such enhanced features as book jacket photos, tables of contents, bestseller lists, brief synopses and much more. UFV Library Collections and Services for Peace Studies (November 2013) Page 3
Students may view their own library accounts to review checkouts and fines, renew materials they have checked out, and place their own online holds and campus-to-campus transfer requests. The web site also provides access to our online journals and databases, research guides, helpful tutorials, and information on our services and policies.
2. LibGuides UFV Library has recently added the LibGuides application to our list of resources. LibGuides enables us to create attractive, multimedia subject guides, share knowledge and information, and promote library resources to the UFV community. Librarians have created Libguides for Peace Studies, Political Science, Philosophy, Religious Studies, Psychology, American, Canadian and British and European History, as well as one to highlight our Heritage Collection.
This is an example of how information is organized in the Peace Studies LibGuide. Please note the tab titled “ Dr. John and Erna Friesen Donation”, which highlights the generosity of a local family, the Friesens, and their support of the Peace Studies collection in the Abbotsford campus library (more details about this donation are available under section E titled “Collections”.
3. Services to Students at a Distance Students at a distance get the same high level of access to collections and services as on-campus students. Full details about services to students at a distance are available on our web site: http://www.ufv.ca/library/online.htm
D. Library Instruction
1. The library has a strong program of providing introductory and research skills classes for students. In the 2012/13 academic year we conducted 262 library instruction sessions. These classes introduce students to the library’s collection and resources; emphasis is placed on concepts, strategies, and skills necessary for finding and evaluating information in a particular subject area or discipline. The Abbotsford library has a computer lab with 26 workstations, providing a hands-on learning experience and the Chilliwack library has 22 workstations in their new lab. 2. Librarians meet with each section of BIO 111, BUS 100, CMNS 125, CMNS 155, and ENGL 105. Students in the first two courses receive a seminar focusing on resources and strategies that will help them successfully complete their labs (biology) and semester-long research project (business). For the latter three courses, librarians meet with each section twice: the first time UFV Library Collections and Services for Peace Studies (November 2013) Page 4
students receive a tour of the library, after which they complete our Online Library Assignment1; and the second time students participate in a seminar focusing on research concepts and strategies related to a particular assignment. These opportunities lay a foundation for further instruction within the disciplines. 3. We view our library instruction efforts as part of a larger, institutional goal toward developing information literate2 students, a developmental process that takes place over a student’s entire academic career, with multiple opportunities to develop and demonstrate competencies. As such, we rely on and work toward cultivating collaborative relationships with classroom faculty in the pursuit of this goal, and welcome discussions with individual faculty and with departments.
E. Collections
1. Books and Videos The UFV Library collection has been developed over a number of years to support all the programs offered by the university. The overall library collection statistics are summarized below. These counts represent materials in a variety of formats, and in all subject areas.

1 This is an integrated tutorial and assessment designed to introduce students to basic research tools (the UFV Library Catalogue and Academic Search Premier) and concepts (keyword and subject searching, Boolean connectors). Results for each student completing the assignment are emailed to the course instructor. See it in action at http://journals.ufv.ca/library/first_year/ (you can complete it as a guest). Any UFV instructor may request access for their students and view the results of their students. 2 Information literacy is “knowing when and why you need information, where to find it, and how to evaluate, use and communicate it in an ethical manner” (Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals, 2005). Information literacy is related to a number of broad educational outcomes, such as critical thinking, problem solving, numeracy, and ethical reasoning. UFV Library Collections and Services for Peace Studies (November 2013) Page 5
a. Dr John and Erna Friesen Peace Studies donation: The Friesens gave a substantial gift to UFV Library to build a Peace Studies collection in 2009.

5. Research Databases The UFV Library provides access to more than 100+ research databases and 51 open access databases, which provide indexing for journals, books and book chapters, government documents, statistics, conference proceedings, and more. Many of these databases provide at least some full text for journal articles, but we also take advantage of OpenURL link resolver technology. With the “Where Can I Get This” feature, students and faculty can find out with one click if an article is available from any of our databases, whether the journal is held in print at UFV, and which other post-secondary libraries have holdings of this journal, at which point they can easily place a request to get a copy of the article from one of these libraries.
3 FT = Full-text holdings 4 1973- : the dash after the year indicates we have current holdings. UFV Library Collections and Services for Peace Studies (November 2013) Page 8
The following databases are relevant to the Peace Studies program. a. Primary Databases Humanities Full Text This database provides full text plus abstracts and bibliographic indexing of the most noted scholarly sources in the humanities, as well as numerous lesser-known but important specialized magazines. Taylor & Francis Online Journals This database includes the full text of over 1300 scholarly journals published by Taylor & Francis. All subjects, including social sciences, humanities, science and technology. Sage Journals Online This database provides full text of peer-reviewed journals published by SAGE; coverage includes criminology, health sciences, business, history, sociology, and psychology; with a U.S. focus.

6. Course Consultations Library consultation is a required component of all new course approvals at UFV. Each new course outline is reviewed by the liaison librarian and detailed recommendations for collection development are given. We also analyze student interlibrary loan requests by course and circulation statistics and use this to inform our acquisition decisions.
7. Interlibrary Loans If an item is not available from the UFV Library, students and faculty may request it from another library. For journal articles, the “Where Can I Get This” feature within our research databases offers easy access to our request forms. This system of direct requesting provides a very quick turn-around time for students and faculty (1-3 days for articles, and 1 week for books). We combine this with an online delivery system called Relais, which delivers scanned articles to our ILL department. Recently, we have been able to deliver articles directly to the student or faculty member’s desktop.
Students and faculty may also take advantage of our online book, article and video request forms at http://www.UFV.ca/library/services_policies/ill.htm
We offer students and faculty 100 free interlibrary loans per year, but will increase this number as needed. Although most requests can be filled from within B.C., they have obtained items from as far away as Japan, Germany, Iceland and Great Britain.
8. Reciprocal Borrowing Agreements UFV students and faculty may also take advantage of direct borrowing from other postsecondary libraries in B.C. and across Canada.
a. COPPUL The UFV library is part of the Council of Prairie and Pacific University Libraries (COPPUL). COPPUL is a consortium of 22 Western Canadian post-secondary libraries, which in turn has collaborative agreements with 3 other Canadian university library consortia. One direct benefit for faculty and students is the ability to obtain a library card and borrow material from virtually any public post- secondary library across Canada. UFV Library Collections and Services for Peace Studies (November 2013) Page 10
b. South of Fraser Agreement Since 2005, UFV has enjoyed a partnership with Simon Fraser University, Douglas College, and Kwantlen Polytechnic University to provide free reciprocal borrowing privileges to students and faculty from our institutions.
9. Consortial Memberships
UFV library is a member of a number of library consortia. This membership provides a variety of benefits to our students and faculty such as participation in consortial licensing of databases and electronic collections, reciprocal borrowing agreements, and access to library best practices and expertise.
• Canadian Research Knowledge Network (CRKN) • Council of Prairie and Pacific University Libraries (COPPUL) • British Columbia Electronic Library Network (BCELN) • British Columbia Electronic Health Libraries Network (BCEHLN)

PEACE & CONFLICT STUDIES STUDENT INTEREST QUESTIONNAIRE
The purpose of this survey is to assess the level of interest of UFV students in a proposed new program in Peace and Conflict Studies.
This survey is voluntary, and it should take only a few minutes to fill out. Please be assured that your privacy will be fully protected and all your responses will remain confidential.
Please do not fill out this survey more than once. We need to make accurate projections based on student responses.
If you have any questions about this survey, please contact Steven Schroeder, Program Working Group Chair, at [email protected] or Sylvie Murray, Program Development Coordinator, at [email protected].
What is Peace and Conflict Studies? Peace and Conflict Studies is a well-recognized interdisciplinary program of study that examines the root causes of violence, and peacebuilding methods that foster enduring, positive change. Over 400 Peace Studies programs exist in colleges and universities throughout the world and many of those programs are at the graduate level (i.e., Master’s and PhD).
What will you study in the Peace and Conflict Studies courses? In this program you will study, in classroom settings, how factors such as personal viewpoints, social injustice, and territorial claims contribute to conflicts at the personal, communal and international levels. A colloquium and practicum component will supplement academic learning, and provide skills and hands-on experience in conflict transformation and reconciliatory work.
What will you do with a Peace and Conflict Studies degree? Upon graduation, you will have acquired the intellectual and practical tools required to address the widespread violence in our world today. These tools will be applied in your personal relationships, and your vocation. Particular careers that require these skills regularly are: education (teaching), law, government, relief work, development, counseling and mediation. If you go on to serve in the police force or the military, you will find it absolutely necessary to have at your disposal a wide range of options when dealing with threats to individual and public safety and security.
