This event is sponsored by the Notre Dame Alumni Association as part of their Reunion 2023 programming. It is part of the ND Perspectives seres, which offers Notre Dame's take on timely and important issues through a variety of lenses from notable alumni and faculty.
What are the pathways to peace in a world that is fraught with conflict, violence and suffering? We will look to Catholic peacebuilding efforts. This year marks the 60th anniversary of the papal encyclical On Establishing Universal Peace in Truth, Justice, Charity and Liberty, that, as Pope Francis wrote, still stands as “a permanent commitment” to peace.
Join the Alumni Assocation for a timely discussion on how peacemaking and peacebuilding viewed through a Catholic lens can guide us through the tumultuous challenges ahead. Featured experts work as practitioners in national security, diplomacy, and conflict prevention.
