A Sauntering Field Trip: The Extraordinary Arc of a Thousand Conversations…Plus a Few Side Notes on the Way to a Peace Conference
"Conversation requires us to dwell in the turn, to inhabit, to feel at home in the turning toward and together.”

This unique keynote is an invitation to a guided walking-tour that will reflect on the many annoying questions that keep bothering the Fiefdom of Peacebuilding, or to put it almost scientifically: what if our paradigms no longer scratch where it itches?

Lederach, John Paul, and Conal Fagan. “A Sauntering Field Trip: The Extraordinary Arc of a Thousand Conversations…Plus a Few Side Notes on the Way to a Peace Conference.” Keynote presented at the Beyond the Surface: Moving the Needle on Global Peace, April 16, 2021.

Recorded at and shared with the permission of the Joan B. Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies, part of the Keough School of Global Affairs at the University of Notre Dame.
