The Trudeau Centre for Peace and Conflict at the University of Toronto hosts the 2011 Peace and Conflict Studies conference. With a focus on the community level of analysis, the conference contends that local-level considerations are vital to the reduction of structural violence. With the community as the foundation, the conference will survey the contours of six sub-topics – education, justice, media, memorialization, infrastructure, and psychological trauma – in a series of panel discussions. These will be united by an opening keynote event with three keynote speeches.
