Listen to the ICERM Radio talk show, “Lets Talk About It,” for an enlightening discussion on “How to Deal with History and Collective Memory in Conflict Resolution” with Cheryl Lynn Duckworth, Ph.D., a professor of conflict resolution at Nova Southeastern University, Florida, USA.
The interview/discussion focuses on "How to deal with history and collective memory in conflict resolution." Approaching this topic from a peace education perspective, the interview focuses on the most important themes in Dr. Duckworth's book, Teaching About Terror: 9/11 and Collective Memory in US Classrooms, and applies the lessons learned to the international context - especially to the post-1994 Rwandan Genocide educational reconstruction, and the Nigerian politics of oblivion regarding the Nigerian Civil War (also known as the Nigeria-Biafra War).
Dr. Duckworth’s teaching and research focus on transforming the social, cultural, political and economic causes of war and violence. She regularly lectures and presents workshops on historical memory, peace education, conflict resolution, and qualitative research methods. Among her recent publications are Conflict Resolution and the Scholarship of Engagement, and Teaching About Terror: 9/11 and Collective Memory in US Classrooms, which analyzes the narrative today's students are receiving about 9/11, and the implications of this for global peace and conflict. Dr. Duckworth is currently the Editor-in-Chief of Peace and Conflict Studies Journal.
