Dr. Prudence Moylan is a Professor Emerita of history at Loyola University of Chicago. At the time of the Mundelein and Loyola affiliation, Dr. Moylan was a professor of history and member of the Peace Studies faculty at Mundelein. Dr. Moylan contextualizes the Peace Studies Program and discusses its historical origins in Vatican II and nineteen-sixties peace and justice activist campaigns as well as its connections to women’s peace activism. According to Dr. 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 settled focus on women, they settled on the simple name, “Peace Studies” and incorporated a complex, inclusive, and multidisciplinary approach to peace.
