Beloiters attend the Wisconsin Institute for Peace and Conflict Studies conference
On April 4, the School of Global and Public Service (GPS) and the Weissberg Program in Human Rights and Social Justice sent sixteen students to Marquette University for an all-day conference on peace and conflict studies.
In addition to the student attendees, two Beloiters were on the program.
Josh Moore, director of the Global Experience Office, was part of a panel on Campus Scholarship and Activism; his presentation was entitled “Leveraging the Co-Curriculum to Address Human Rights Across Disciplines.”
George Dalbo, who is teaching in the sociology department this year, was part of the Methodologies of Transformation panel. His talk, “Unsettling Narratives: The Possibilities and Limitations for Justice in Settler Colonial Nation-States,” drew on a class he is currently teaching.
There were four sessions across the course of the day, and students could choose from multiple options in each time slot. This is the first time Beloit participated in the annual conference, and next year we plan to have students present their work.
