My name is Jaden, and I am an incoming senior at Chapman University. I am in my final year studying Integrated Educational Studies as well as Peace and Justice Studies. I was drawn to this course after my prior experience studying abroad in the United Kingdom last spring. Even though I did not spend much time in Ireland, The Troubles is consistently discussed in the culture of the whole UK. Additionally, I am excited to get practical, hands-on experience to apply to my Peace and Justice Studies course back at Chapman next year. I am intrigued to learn more about the history of the conflict, how it really began, the different opinions and perspectives on all sides, and how Ireland exists peacefully (or non-peacefully) today with The Troubles as the background of its society. I think I will be challenged to continue revising my own opinions, beliefs, and understandings of the conflict. Educationally, I oftentimes find something that resonates with me and hold strong to that, rarely changing my views. This will be an exercise in flexibility for me, as I am sure, and I hope, that my understanding will change due to the experiences I am having and the people I am meeting in Ireland. I look forward to practicing this skill and expanding my knowledge of the world around me. I also love to travel, so I am excited to explore a new place and culture as well!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-946\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.chapman.edu\/peacecomm2025\/peacecomm2025\/files\/2025\/05\/IMG_6964-225x300.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.chapman.edu\/peacecomm2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2025\/05\/IMG_6964-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/sites.chapman.edu\/peacecomm2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2025\/05\/IMG_6964-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/sites.chapman.edu\/peacecomm2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2025\/05\/IMG_6964-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/sites.chapman.edu\/peacecomm2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2025\/05\/IMG_6964-619x825.jpeg 619w, https:\/\/sites.chapman.edu\/peacecomm2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2025\/05\/IMG_6964.jpeg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi!
