Education & Dialogue for a Peaceful and Just Future

Lab leaders: Karen Ross, Jeff Pugh

The Education and Dialogue for a Peaceful & Just Future Lab at CPDD brings together individuals interested in issues related to education (broadly defined to include formal and non-formal education as well as community-based initiatives in conflict contexts) in relation to peacebuilding and social change.  This lab is a space for critically exploring questions through pathways including empirical research, reading groups, guest speakers, and so on - with an emphasis on connecting research to practice and to community-based and community-driven work. The principal major project that the lab is currently working on is the Measuring Networked Peacebuilding initiative.  It also helps to support conflict resolution trainings on campus and beyond.
