Professional Activities

My academic commitment to peacebuilding and social justice issues is an outgrowth of and closely linked to my professional background and activities. During the last fifteen years I have worked in or on issues related to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, peace education, inter-group dialogue and racial justice.  In addition to implementing dialogues in my own community, I have facilitated dialogues for Soliya, the Network for Peace through Dialogue, the Jewish Dialogue Group, and for the American Friends Service Committee, and have also facilitated restorative justice circles at a MA correctional facility.  I occasionally volunteer as a facilitator/coach/trainer  with Soliya and am a regular consultant (as a trainer/facilitator as well as a researcher/evaluator) with Essential Partners.
