SUMMARY:PSRP Researcher Presenting: Peacebuilding Approaches to Countering Extremism
DESCRIPTION:PSRP researcher Professor Fionnuala Ní Aoláin will speak at the Global Ties U.S. Regional Summit ‘Peacebuilding Approaches to Countering Extremism’ on Thursday August 18th. Professor Ní Aoláin will speak on the interface between peacemaking\, political settlement in the context of violent extremism with gender. \nPeacebuilding Approaches to Countering Extremism \nAs societies around the world face the growing challenge of extremism\, Minnesota has found itself at the center of this critical issue. What lessons can be drawn from our community’s struggles to preserve both public safety and civil rights\, address root causes of extremism without stigmatizing entire communities\, and propose positive\, community-based alternatives to the extremist message? And how can these lessons be applied to the global community? Join us as we answer these questions and more\, and examine the roles education\, communication\, and action play in battling extremism. \nIn partnership with the U.S. Department of State and Global Ties U.S.\, this summit seeks to validate and encourage community partnerships\, energize efforts to effectively and positively engage young people\, and help educate the broader community and dispel common fears and misconceptions. And drawing on global case studies\, we’ll look at different approaches to challenging this borderless issue. \nFeatured Speakers \n\nCongressman Keith Ellison\nCongressman Tom Emmer\nAbdirizak Farah\, Senior Policy Advisor with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties\nAndrew M.
