Mapping Local Landscapes — Community Approaches to Peace

2011 Peace and Conflict Studies conference
Friday, 2011 January 28, 3 pm to 9 pm
Saturday, 2011 January 29, 9:30 am to 6 pm
University of Toronto

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.

2009 Oct 4: Multifaith Peace Walk

I’ll be participating in the Second Annual Danforth Multifaith Peace Walk and urge everyone to join me. The walk begins at Glen Rhodes United Church and continues past the Danforth Jewish Circle, the Pakistani Community Centre and the Madina Masjid on Danforth to celebrate the newly renovated space, ending at Eastminster United Church.

Women are asked to wear a head scarf inside the Madina Masjid.
