Strategies for Peace, Global Sustainability


& Conflict Transformation

Achieving global peace is inherently a multifaceted and multidisciplinary objective. Higher education has a pivotal role to play in reaching this objective. The challenge for educators and students is to articulate the nexus between peace and particular fields. The goal of this interactive symposium is to discuss leading edge information and possible pedagogies to help include peace in as many courses as possible. Our focus will be on the complex relationships among peace, environmental sustainability, global communications, economic empowerment, social justice and public health.
