Peacemaker 101: Careers Confronting Conflict

This is a link to a PDF file of Peacemaker 101: Careers Confronting Conflict, a collection of brief personal essays from 39 participants in the Solomon Asch Center’s past summer institutes. The contributors and editors Roy Eidelson, Jena Laske, and Lina Cherfas hope that this book proves to be of interest to many people, but especially to students wondering how to make a difference in a world that suffers greatly from tragic and violent group conflict. We recognize that often it is not easy to see, as a high school or university student, how to move from concern to effective action. One valuable step can be to learn how others have moved forward. The personal essays in this book offer a broad range of examples from which to draw inspiration and direction. Peacemaker 101 is currently available throug the Penn Program in Ethnic Conflict. If you would like a copy, please contact Jena Laske.
