TODAY! Sharing Sacred Space: Religion and Conflict Resolution
Emily Brennan
Date: Thursday, February 14, 9:00am-7:00pm; Friday, February 15,
9:30am-12:30pm
Location: Kellogg Center, International Affairs Building, Room 1501
Chaired and organized by Elazar Barkan, Professor of International and
Public Affairs,
this conference intends to focus on the role of sites and spaces that
are significant to
more than one religion and on the ways these religions engage each
other in order to
overcome and resolve conflict. The goal is to illuminate a pioneering
approach for
promoting toleration through religious processes that engage and
respect the narrative
and beliefs of the Other, be it religious or ethnic groups.
