Religious Women in Peacebuilding

Presented by the Carter School's Center for World Religions, Diplomacy, and Conflict Resolution (CRDC) 

Title: Religious Women in Peacebuilding: Explorations and Critiques of New Intervention Methodologies 

Through its work in Syria, the Middle East, and Africa, the Center for World Religion, Diplomacy, and Conflict Resolution (CRDC) has employed methodologies of conflict healing and compassionate reasoning, as well as others, to combine theory and practice in unique settings, both on the ground and virtually. This presentation will review and critique our experiences through the lens of self-examination, embracing both what was good, remarkable, or pioneering, and what was difficult or limited. The goal is to gain a deeper understanding of recent methodologies and the value of a people-centered and bridge-building focus in peace-making, promoting positive increments of change. 

Speakers:  

• Dr. Marc Gopin, Director, CRDC
