July 1, 2025For the past 10 years, the Carter School for Peace and Conflict Resolution at George Mason has partnered with Shinnyo-en Foundation in their shared mission of developing young people as peacebuilders. In a world of division, both the Carter School and Shinnyo-en Foundation seek to bring groups together, navigate darkness, and illuminate paths toward peace.
Honoring their colleague and founding S-CAR faculty member Dennis Sandole, sixteen faculty members presented their current research to the academic community during a day-long conference at Point of View. Five faculty panels with PhD student discussants were held throughout the day on topics ranging from political conflicts and social justice to advancing conflict resolution practices. The event, organized by Karina Korostelna, was streamed live on Facebook and later published on YouTube.
