The URI Honors Colloquium, Fall 2000.
All events are free and open to the public.
All programs take place at URI s main campus in Kingston. In our contemporary world, from Kosovo to Columbia to Littleton, and even here at home, we witness the breakdown of community resulting in various forms of violence. We welcome your participation in our exploration of ways to lessen violence in the world and provide meaningful alternatives from the personal, family, and community, to the national and international levels. It is appropriate that the United Nations has designated the opening years of the new millennium as The Decade for a Culture of Peace and Nonviolence. URI s Fall Honors Colloquium will examine the diverse strands of nonviolence, both as a philosophy and as a means of positive social change.
