Approaching Current Affairs from a Conflict Resolution Lens
With the beginning of this semester, the School for Conflict Analysis and Resolution is opening its doors to a new form of dialogue. As a student led initiative, the “Current News through a Conflict Resolution Perspective,” aims to bring together the diversity that encompassesS-CAR to encourage intellectual discussions about the world around us.This initiative, whichwill be held twice a month and explores the “news of the day,” from various newspapers and analyzes what impact conflict resolution,can have on the reported events. It also encourages S-CAR students to apply the concepts and frameworks studied in class to real and current conflicts. This initiative will also hope to engage with people from different backgrounds and perspectives to express their ideas and opinions on local and global issues to enrich the school and help create a network and marketplace of ideas essential for the development of the field. The first dialogue will take place on February 6th, 2014, at 1:00pm in the John Burton Library. For more information, please contact Claudine Kuradusenge at [email protected]
