Interdisciplinary Conversations 250 Years in the Making
Training in Nonviolence as a Path to Change
Join the Joan B. Kroc School of Peace Studies and USD's Civility Ambassadors for an interactive training on the principles and practices of nonviolence. Participants will explore how peaceful action has shaped historic change and learn practical strategies for applying these approaches in their own lives and communities. Dinner will be provided.
About the Series
Join USD faculty from across disciplines for a week of dynamic conversations exploring American identity, democracy, revolution, citizenship, history, religion, science, music and social change. Through lectures, panel discussions and a hands-on nonviolence training, participants will examine enduring questions about who we are, how we govern ourselves and what remains unfinished in the American experiment.
The series culminates on October 1 with A Revolutionary Birthday Party, featuring cake, refreshments and community reflection in celebration of 250 years of democratic aspirations and civic engagement.
Mini copies of the U.S. Constitution and Declaration of Independence will be available at each event, and USD Votes will be tabling throughout the series with voter registration information.
