Abstract	An undergraduate honors course on the Nobel Peace Prize winners at the University of Maryland focuses on styles of leadership and includes three main areas of attention: (1) the inner journey, or heart of the peacemaker, (2) leadership exercised through organizations and movements, and (3) the rhetoric of the leader. The course was divided into a sequence in which each part corresponded to one of these three areas. Different prize winners were emphasized in each of these sections. The course was also designed to test different concepts of leadership and to see if the Nobel Prize winners could offer viable options for the lives of the students in the course. The weekly seminars mixed the study of the laureates, critical and analytic work, and activities such as a field interview project. Students also prepared papers for discussion at the seminar. Reports covered a wide range of possible topics dealing both with individual peace leaders or with the general topic of leadership. The biographic approach used in this course appeared to be fruitful for the development of peace studies. The course description and syllabus are provided in appendices. (IS)
