Part II of the book opens with the first empirical chapter describing my dissertation research in Colombia. In the mid-2010s, I conducted a multiyear study of how young people in the country were thinking about peace and connecting it to their lives and identities. This chapter provides a contextualization – a key element of conceptualized peace – of the discourses and social representations related to peace as the Colombian government sought to end decades of armed conflict and build toward a broader harmonious society. The chapter summarizes the methods that involved integrating three datasets to provide multiple viewpoints and understand the context within which these participants were embedded. The young Colombians conveyed nuanced ideas about peace and themselves that related to these social representations, but also showed cognitive flexibility and local contextual influence as they made sense for themselves. I end the chapter by showing how conceptualized peace helps interpret the findings and adds overall value to the study and its implications.
