My background in peace studies is not very extensive, I took a peace studies class first semester of junior year and really enjoyed it. I also have an extensive background in activism and am very interested in the intersection between that and peace studies. I am particularly interested in this course because of my Irish heritage, as well as my interest in Irish history and what decolonization looks like in the context of Ireland. I hope to gain a better understanding of the history of The Troubles and what reunification could look like. I think it will be difficult to learn about the trauma inflicted on Ireland, but I believe it&#8217;s important to learn about these difficult things so we can ensure they don&#8217;t happen again, as well as figure out what is best for Ireland now. I&#8217;m excited to get started!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-934\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.chapman.edu\/peacecomm2025\/peacecomm2025\/files\/2025\/05\/FullSizeRender-227x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"227\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.chapman.edu\/peacecomm2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2025\/05\/FullSizeRender-227x300.jpg 227w, https:\/\/sites.chapman.edu\/peacecomm2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2025\/05\/FullSizeRender-775x1024.jpg 775w, https:\/\/sites.chapman.edu\/peacecomm2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2025\/05\/FullSizeRender-768x1014.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sites.chapman.edu\/peacecomm2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2025\/05\/FullSizeRender-1163x1536.jpg 1163w, https:\/\/sites.chapman.edu\/peacecomm2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2025\/05\/FullSizeRender-619x817.jpg 619w, https:\/\/sites.chapman.edu\/peacecomm2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2025\/05\/FullSizeRender.jpg 1454w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 227px) 100vw, 227px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi, my name is Frankie and I am an incoming senior majoring in Writing for Film and Television and minoring in Sociology.
