This reflective article analyzes the peace chair at the Universidad del Atlántico (Colombia) through Michel Foucault's ethical project. The chair is understood, in terms of its purpose, as a form of resistance to violence and teaching for peace, and reflects on the idea of citizenship and the history of the University, confronting naturalized violence in the context of the peace talks to end the conflict between the Colombian Government and the FARC-EP (between 2012 and 2016), as well as the processes of education for the post-conflict period. First, the context of violence in the Colombian Caribbean is analyzed; then the formation of the peace chair in Colombia and at the University of Atlántico is studied; and finally, the relationship between the chair and Michel Foucault's ethics is traced.
