Methodology: How We Build Pax Empathica
Pax Empathica is grounded in the belief that peace is not merely the absence of conflict but the presence of empathy, justice, and ethical relationships. Our approach combines academic rigor, lived experience, and interdisciplinary insight to develop a new paradigm of peace for a fractured world.
Interdisciplinary Framework
. Classics : Study of historical empires like Rome for governance and power structures.
. Peace Studies : Use of peacebuilding models and conflict transformation.
. Sociology, Ethics, Theology : Integration of moral thought, justice narratives, and cultural ethics.
Comparative Historical Analysis
We examine systems like Pax Romana, Pax Britannica, and Pax Americana versus grassroots postcolonial peace efforts. We ask: What were the costs? Who was silenced? What visions of peace were suppressed?
Decolonial & Intersectional Lenses
We uplift Global South, women, Indigenous, and marginalized voices to expose structural injustice in modern peacebuilding.
Narrative Inquiry
We treat stories as "data of dignity"—revealing ethical dimensions often missed by policy or statistics.
Qualitative & Reflective Research
. Thematic content analysis
. Critical reflections on peacebuilding failures
. Ethical engagement with affected communities
Knowledge Translation
We convert insights into public scholarship: policy briefs, podcasts, visual explainers, and educational tools.
Collaborative Praxis
We co-create with scholars, artists, and peacebuilders globally. Pax Empathica is a collective, evolving vision.
