Description

Spend two weeks this summer learning about peacebuilding, border conflicts, migration, and conflict transformation together with participants and fantastic guest speakers from all over Latin America and the world! UMass Boston, in collaboration with Latin American partner universities in Ecuador, Brazil, Costa Rica, and Uruguay, will hold their Virtual Summer Institute on Conflict Transformation Across Borders each summer. Students will enroll through their respective university and participate in two weeks of virtual (Zoom) classes in June 2025. The summer Institute will include the analysis of concrete cases of conflict, peacebuilding, refugees and border challenges, as well as practical skills training on conflict analysis, actor mapping, negotiation and mediation and proposal writing, with top-level guest speakers from around the world. Cases drawn from Colombia, Ecuador, Brazil, Haiti, Costa Rica, and the United States will provide concrete examples. Participants will design their own proposal for a peacebuilding Intervention and will receive feedback from a panel of experienced experts in the field, and they will produce a 'public engagement' project such as an op ed or podcast episode. This course will be co- facilitated by Dr. Jeffrey Pugh of UMass Boston's Department of Conflict Resolution, Human Security and Global Governance, Dr. Cecile Mouly of FLACSO Ecuador, and Dr. Monica Herz of PUC de Rio, as well as other speakers. Please note: Zoom classes on weekdays from June 9-20, 10 a.m. - 1p.m. M-F, plus an additional asynchronous week June 23-27 to complete projects.
