At the core of this framework is the idea of strategic peacebuilding, an interdisciplinary, coordinated approach to building a sustainable justpeace\u2014a peace with justice. Strategic peacebuilding requires clear goals. While the concept of justpeace is growing in popularity, few writings lay out the vision and practice of justpeace. One aim of this book is to promote the concept of justpeace as an overall goal or vision for peacebuilding.&#8221;<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong><a class=\"button\" href=\"https:\/\/austincc.ent.sirsi.net\/client\/en_US\/default\/search\/detailnonmodal\/ent:$002f$002fSD_ILS$002f0$002fSD_ILS:293269\/one\">Free Copy Here<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","column_2":"<p><a href=\"https:\/\/austincc.ent.sirsi.net\/client\/en_US\/default\/search\/detailnonmodal\/ent:$002f$002fSD_ILS$002f0$002fSD_ILS:293269\/one\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1830\" src=\"https:\/\/liberalarts.austincc.edu\/center-peace-conflict-studies\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2022\/06\/default.jpg\" alt=\" The little book of strategic peacebuilding Author: Schirch, Lisa\" width=\"311\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/liberalarts.austincc.edu\/center-peace-conflict-studies\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2022\/06\/default.jpg?w=360&amp;ssl=1 360w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/liberalarts.austincc.edu\/center-peace-conflict-studies\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2022\/06\/default.jpg?resize=187%2C300&amp;ssl=1 187w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 311px) 100vw, 311px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","background":"Color","background_color":"#FFFFFF","background_gradient":{"gradient_start":"","gradient_end":""},"background_image":false,"text_mode":"dark","id":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"two_columns","heading":"","column_1":"<h4><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/austincc.ent.sirsi.net\/client\/en_US\/default\/search\/detailnonmodal\/ent:$002f$002fSD_ILS$002f0$002fSD_ILS:293268\/one\">The Little Book of Conflict Transformation<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">by John Paul Lederach<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Topics include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Defining Conflict Transformation<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Conflict and Change<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Connecting Resolution and Transformation<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Creating a Map of Conflict<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Developing Our Capacities<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">And much more!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A guide to conflict resolution, or as the author prefers, \u201cconflict transformation\u201d that emphasizes the importance of building relationships and social structures through a radical respect for human rights and life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This clearly articulated statement offers a hopeful and workable approach to conflict\u2014that eternally beleaguering human situation. John Paul Lederach is internationally recognized for his breakthrough thinking and action related to conflict on all levels\u2014person-to-person, factions within communities, warring nations. He explores why &#8220;conflict transformation&#8221; is more appropriate than &#8220;conflict resolution&#8221; or &#8220;management.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Firmly rooted in faith and Mennonite teachings, and related to the popular concept of restorative justice, conflict transformation is an idea with a deep reach. Its practice, says Lederach, requires &#8220;both solutions and social change.&#8221; It asks not simply &#8220;How do we end something not desired?&#8221; but &#8220;How do we end something destructive and build something desired?&#8221; How do we deal with the immediate crisis, as well as the long-term situation?

It guides readers through the campaign planning process, breaking it down into several steps and providing tools and exercises for each step. Upon finishing the book, readers will have what they need to guide their peers through the process of planning a campaign. This process, as laid out in the guide, is estimated to take about 12 hours from start to finish.<\/p>\n<p>The guide is divided into two parts. The first lays out and contextualizes campaign planning tools and their objectives. It also explains the logic behind these tools, and how they can be modified to better suit a particular group\u2019s context. The second part provides easily reproducible and shareable lesson plans for using each of those tools, and explores how to embed the tools in the wider planning process.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><a class=\"button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nonviolent-conflict.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/The-Path-of-Most-Resistance-Second-Edition.pdf\">Free Copy Here<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","column_2":"<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nonviolent-conflict.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/The-Path-of-Most-Resistance-Second-Edition.pdf\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1827 size-full aligncenter\" title=\"https:\/\/www.nonviolent-conflict.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/The-Path-of-Most-Resistance-Second-Edition\" src=\"https:\/\/liberalarts.austincc.edu\/center-peace-conflict-studies\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2022\/06\/The-Path-of-Most-Resistance-Second-Edition.png\" alt=\"The Path of Most Resistance Second Edition\" width=\"311\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/liberalarts.austincc.edu\/center-peace-conflict-studies\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2022\/06\/The-Path-of-Most-Resistance-Second-Edition.png?w=311&amp;ssl=1 311w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/liberalarts.austincc.edu\/center-peace-conflict-studies\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2022\/06\/The-Path-of-Most-Resistance-Second-Edition.png?resize=187%2C300&amp;ssl=1 187w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 311px) 100vw, 311px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","background":"Color","background_color":"#FFFFFF","background_gradient":{"gradient_start":"","gradient_end":""},"background_image":false,"text_mode":"dark","id":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"two_columns","heading":"EQUITY IN ONLINE LEARNING","column_1":"<h4><strong>PACS Center Focus Group on Equity in Online Instruction<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Considerations for choosing between synchronous versus asynchronous course designations and designs<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Please review the attached document to review our PACS Center Focus Group on Equity in Online Instruction\u2019s thoughts on synchronous versus asynchronous course design.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><a class=\"button\" href=\"https:\/\/liberalarts.austincc.edu\/center-peace-conflict-studies\/2022\/06\/06\/equity-in-online-learning\/\">Equity in Online Learning<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","column_2":"<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1752 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/liberalarts.austincc.edu\/center-peace-conflict-studies\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2022\/04\/Group-1200-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/liberalarts.austincc.edu\/center-peace-conflict-studies\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2022\/04\/Group-1200.jpg?w=300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/liberalarts.austincc.edu\/center-peace-conflict-studies\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2022\/04\/Group-1200.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n","background":"Color","background_color":"#FFFFFF","background_gradient":{"gradient_start":"","gradient_end":""},"background_image":false,"text_mode":"dark","id":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"two_columns","heading":"Larp &amp; Conflict Transformation","column_1":"<p>Enjoy this second (2) of three (3) Lightning Talks from the Spring 2022 Town Hall Meeting in the Transformative Play Initiative Event Series: &#8220;Larp and Conflict Transformation&#8221; by Shirin Khosropour, Charlotte Gullick, and Laila Taraghi!
