How can we practice peace 365 days a year? What are the different avenues to peace? What did the great leaders of peace say about positive and affirmative actions? What are the different cultural and historical perspective on peace?
These questions–and much much more–are discussed in Peace 365!
An interdisciplinary course that was developed as part of the Learning Communities Initiative, Peace 365 is an interdisciplinary course that meets once a month. Featuring our very own Dawson teachers, Peace 365 is created to foster dialogue between students, faculty, and staff, focused on 3 themes: Peace and Self, Peace and Other, Peace and Nature.
This page contains the resources, including reading materials and YouTube videos, to supplement the panel talks.
