Halmos Offers Course on Religion, Politics and Conflict

The Department of Conflict Resolution Studies (DCRS) in the Halmos College of Arts and Sciences and the Guy Harvey Oceanographic Research Center invites you to participate in “Understanding the Dynamics between Religion, Politics and Conflict.” This free four-session online course will be offered on Saturdays from March 30 to April 27. It will be offered in English from noon to 2 p.m. and in Creole from 2 to 3:30 p.m.

The course is being offered by the International Center for Leadership and Conflict Studies, a Florida-based non-profit that promotes global leadership development and peaceful conflict resolution.

The lead trainer is Ernst Pierre Vincent, Ph.D., a doctoral graduate of DCRS. Vincent is a global conflict expert, focusing on identity, religious and political conflict, race relations, statelessness, slavery and neo-colonialism. His research with Dominicans of Haitian descent and religious leaders explores challenges faced by stateless individuals. As founder of the center, he investigates the church’s role in racial reconciliation and social justice in the Caribbean, Latin America and the United States.

This course is sponsored by Latin America and The Caribbean Working Group in DCRS, which aims to raise awareness of issues in the region, fostering partnerships among NSU’s community and diverse Latin American nations.
