DescriptionIn 2008, BGSU created a required multidisciplinary, team-taught course called Peace and Cultural Legacies of the Nuclear Age as a way to build interest in the Peace and Conflict Studies program and collaboration among PACS faculty members. The course and program have evolved through many personnel and institutional changes. Combined with short-term study abroad, this has been an effective way to stabilize and strengthen the PACS program, and we present it as a model others might adapt to their own situations.
