The first module – “The Concepts and Values of Peace and Conflict Studies” got under-way today. The lecturers are Dr. Tom Woodhouse from Bradford University and author of Contemporary Conflict Resolution and Irene Santiago Chair and CEO of the Mindanao Commission on Women and Convenor of Mothers for Peace in the Philippines.
We went into a recap of many of the theories of the founding figures of peace studies such as John Burton, Johan Galtung, Kenneth Bouldering and John Paul Lederach etc. I’m looking forward to getting into more concepts as the week goes on.

Practical Peace 
Hi Looks like an older version of you !!!!! Hope you got my email Mary
Actually at that angle he looks a bit like Mike Gaston. Good line up of peace theorists but keep your mind on the theory you’re studying Enda and not the outdoor pursuits you’re missing – I suspect you meant Kenneth Boulding not Bouldering.
Cheers buddy. I know you’ve got my back! Very true, it should indeed be “Boulding”. (Although I could always just re-edit the original post…)
