Global Scholar Update
By Laura Kann My time of taught courses at University of Bradford is a
quickly coming to a close -- I only have four weeks till the end of the
semester and four essays to complete! My classes here have been thoroughly
enriching, not solely due to the lecturers but also to the wide range of
diversity among the students. Many students here have years of experience in the
practitioner field (e.g. a UN Peacekeeper from Bangladesh, a Ugandan
Member of Parliament who also runs her own female empowerment NGO, a security
and arms researcher from an organisation in Columbia that helped shape public
policy) and often bring new perspectives and insight to our class discussions.
I have really enjoyed taking a step back to explore the big ideas around peace,
conflict, and conflict resolution. [more] |
