“The best way to predict the future is to create it.” - Abe Lincoln

In the Pocket Guide for Facing Down a Civil War (2024), peace and conflict expert John Paul Lederach names humiliation and deep grievance as one of the conditions that gives rise to conflict in relationships, regions and nations.  Join UR/URMC's Restorative Practices team to read and discuss excerpts from this timely new book, and ideas for implementing some of its wisdom into our lives and communities. We invite attendees to read chapter 3 (pages 23-30) of The Pocket Guide prior to the session. You can download a PDF of the book for free on John Paul Lederach's website.

Open to all UR students, faculty, and staff. Register for the Zoom meeting here: https://rochester.zoom.us/meeting/register/SzTst9R6RwaC1pqbosYBLw

This session will be offered twice: on July 24 and August 13. Choose whichever session is best for you--it will be the same offering both times.
