Workshop on Peacemaking

DIALOGUE FOR PEACE: WORKSHOP ON INTERACTIVE PEACEMAKING

with Tamra Pearson d’Estrée (University of Denver)

 

Protracted intergroup conflicts – both between states and within multiethnic states – are often difficult to move toward peace with traditional official processes such as negotiation and diplomacy. Alternative, constructive, unofficial interactions can restore hope to stalled peace processes. These so called ‘Track Two’ processes can create spaces for parties to gain mutual understanding on underlying needs and concerns, changing priorities, the importance of symbols and narratives, and constructive forms of communication. They may also allow for parties to re-examine assumptions about their adversaries and themselves and thus open up new pathways to peace. This workshop will consider a method to engage parties in unofficial, constructive intergroup dialogue. Join us to build skills in facilitation and interactive peacemaking.

 

Tamra Pearson d’Estrée is Professor of Conflict Resolution in the Josef Korbel School of International Studies at Denver University. Her research interests include identity and interaction dimensions of intergroup conflicts, reconciliation, peacebuilding, Track Two diplomacy, and processes for intergroup conflict resolution, particularly in the Middle East, Anatolia, and the Caucasus, where she also has engaged in conflict resolution practice. Her current peacebuilding research explores the benefits and pitfalls of environmental peacebuilding. Her current policy research explores how immigrant integration policies and frameworks interact with community attitudes and behavior toward Muslim immigrants. She also teaches and does research on collaborative processes of environmental policy formation and implementation. Other research interests include the evaluation of international, community, and environmental conflict resolution. In addition to numerous book chapters and journal articles, she is co-author, with Bonnie G. Colby, of Braving the Currents: Evaluating Conflict Resolution in the River Basins of the American West (Springer), co-editor, with Ruth Parsons, of Cultural Encounters and Emergent Practices in Conflict Resolution Capacity-Building (Palgrave Macmillan), and editor of New Directions in Peacebuilding Evaluation (Rowman & Littlefield) and Shifting Protracted Conflict Systems Through Local Interactions: Extending Kelman’s Legacy (Routledge). She also coordinates DU’s Conflict Engagement and Resolution Initiative. She has a PhD in Social Psychology from Harvard University.

26 June 2024, 14.00-17.00, SR 15.13 (RESOWI B1)
