Professor Prudence Moylan
Professor Emerita of History, Loyola University of Chicago
Prudence Moylan is a Professor Emerita of History at Loyola University of Chicago. At the time of the Mundelein and Loyola affiliation, Professor Moylan was a member of the Peace Studies faculty at Mundelein. Professor Moylan contextualizes the Peace Studies Program and discusses its historical origins in Vatican II and 1960s peace and justice activist campaigns as well as its connections to women’s peace activism. According to Professor Moylan, there were some significant obstacles to overcome during the meetings of the Peace Studies committee. Three significant barriers were the lack of focus on women and peace, titles for the program, and related definitions of the concept, “peace.” Though the committee did not have any specific focus on women, they settled on the simple name, “Peace Studies,” and incorporated a complex, inclusive, and multidisciplinary approach to peace.
