The Culture of Peace is an attempt to educate humankind to issues of nonviolence, conflict resolution and problems that could ignite conflicts or war in the 21st century. Within this framework, Ramapo College accepted the challenge to educate students to a culture of peace. By inviting 13 experts in areas such as youth violence, African sustainable democracy, economic justice, the role of the UN in the 21st century, gender and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the global AIDS epidemic, civil disobedience, and arms transfer, among others, the College is inviting the voice of the practitioner into the classroom. These practitioners will share with students, faculty and the public their perspective on how these global challenges can be resolved peacefully.
All lectures are open to the public.
