Peace and World Security Studies
Since its inception in 1983, the aim of the PAWSS program has been to enhance faculty and student awareness of critical peace and security issues, and to facilitate the examination of these issues in the college classroom. Through its Student Leadership Program, PAWSS also encourages students to pursue advanced education in peace studies and to explore internships and career opportunities with organizations concerned with peace, arms control, development, ecological balance, and human rights.

Global Education Office
The Global Education Office at Hampshire offers students the opportunity to study abroad as part of their time at Hampshire. Through that office, Hampshire offers programs in France, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Panama, China, Cuba, Germany, India, and Mexico. Hampshire also assists with locating and planning study abroad through other programs, fellowships, colleges, or individually designed field study programs.

Five College International Relations Certificate Program
Students participating in the PAWSS program can also be certified in international relations through the Five College International Relations Certificate Program. To do so, students must complete courses on introductory world politics, global institutions or problems, the international financial/commercial system, the historical development of the international system since 1789, contemporary American foreign policy, and the Third World. Students must also become proficient in a foreign language through the completion of two years of study at the college level or the equivalent.

Global Migrations Program
The Global Migrations Program seeks to rethink old Cold War paradigms of knowledge and citizenship in light of the unprecedented movements of persons across national and cultural borders that characterize our globalizing world. Students are able to take courses designed to focus on migration and movement over discrete nations and cultures; courses that emphasize “routes” over “roots.”

Annual Eqbal Ahmad Lecture
The annual Eqbal Ahmad Lecture, which honors the teaching, scholarship and activism of the late Eqbal Ahmad, a long-time professor of world politics at Hampshire College, often deals with issues of peace and world security. The event has attracted many notable speakers. United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan inaugurated the series in academic year 1998–1999. Other speakers have included renowned professor and author of Orientalism, Edward Said; Palestinian doctor and recent candidate for the presidency of the Palestinian National Authority, Mustafa Barghouthi; Rashid Khalidi, the Edward Said Professor of Arab Studies, Middle East Institute, Columbia University; as well as New Yorker journalist Seymour Hersh, who broke the Abu Ghraib prison scandal.
