We ended the year with a capacity-building trip to the Middle East. 2022 was, for the Center for Peace and Global Citizenship, a year of stepping into challenges, acting beyond expectations, and fulfilling the College’s core commitments to better learning for broader impact.

September 11, 2001, was a horrific day and a catastrophic loss of life. In the years that followed, 9/11 was leveraged to justify unprecedented surveillance through the Patriot Act, the invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan, and the Global War on Terror. Against these government and dominant cultural responses, some scholars, organizers, and everyday citizens sought routes toward peacemaking, healing, and inclusion - from diverse locations and drawing on diverse methods. Join us on Friday, September 9, from 2:00 - 3:30 pm in Lutnick 200. Please register for tickets here.

Haverford College Students and Faculty regularly focus their research on questions of justice. Among considerable bodies of such research, faculty have nominated eight students for special recognition for Publicly Engaged Research. Publicly Engaged Research (a) advances understanding and action for peace, justice, inclusion, or sustainability, (b) emerges with and from people most affected by the justice / injustice question under consideration, and (c) is developed and disseminated in a manner conscious of inclusive and accessible knowledge mobilization. Nominees will present their research on Wednesday, April 20, at 7:00 pm in VCAM 201, using 7-minute Ignite Talks. All are welcome.

The student does not need to have worked through the CPGC to receive the award. The nomination deadline is Friday, March 25.

6 in 10 Americans say U.S. democracy is in crisis, NPR reports, while a columnist for The Week observes, “Jan. 6 was a signal our democracy is in danger. We're not acting like it.” But what might “acting like it” look like? Several Fords have been working to strengthen democracy throughout their careers, and numerous CPGC partners support and advocate for basic democratic rights. Current students can get involved through funded summer internships.
