Learning to Bridge

Presented by the Carter School's Center for Peacemaking Practice 

Title: Learning to Bridge: A Roundtable on Teaching, Learning, and Becoming in Conflict Resolution Education 

This interactive roundtable brings together Carter School graduate students to reflect on their journeys as learners, educators-in-training, and emerging scholars in the field of conflict resolution. Framed around the question, “What does it mean to bridge?”, the session explores how students are navigating tensions in how peacebuilding is taught and practiced today. Drawing from diverse disciplinary and cultural backgrounds, participants will share personal reflections on what has shaped their learning so far, what feels missing, and what kind of conflict resolution education the future demands. The roundtable aims to spark dialogue about pedagogy, identity, and the evolving purpose of peace education in a complex world.
