The 2009–2010 seminar focuses on the challenges of post-conflict reconciliation and the exploration and analysis of the processes that promote and sustain it, examining specific cases such as Sri Lanka, Colombia, and Iraq, among others. Speakers will include experts from academia and the media, as well as political actors from the conflict regions. This series is planned annually in collaboration with the Nieman Foundation for Journalism, the Program on Negotiation at Harvard Law School, the Shorenstein Center for the Press and Public Policy at Harvard Kennedy School, the Harvard–MIT Dispute Resolution Program, and the Boston area members of the Alliance for Peacebuilding. Weatherhead Center Associate Donna Hicks chairs the seminar, which is open to the public and attended by Weatherhead Center Fellows, visiting scholars, practitioners, students from Harvard and other local universities, and the interested public.
