News from the Peace Centre
The foundation class of the National Peace & Conflict Centre attended an orientation day on the 4th March. Students, staff, and Dorothy Brown representing the Trust, were welcomed on to Araiteuru Marae in Dunedin with a powhiri. Mark Brunton from the Office of Maori Development at Otago provided an overview of the Treaty of Waitangi which was particularly useful for the international students among the group. Dorothy Brown also spoke to the students about the Trust’s vision for the Centre.

Part of the Welcome from the Director Professor Kevin Clements, to the students.
“The research programme has been developed to enable you to do high quality research at the Master of Arts or Ph.D level. At the end of both of these programmes you will know how to think about conflict, violence, nonviolence, war and peace. You will understand something about building strong and resilient communities, nations and regions. You will know how to identify connectors and dividers in all communities. You will be able to construct research problems, gather data appropriate to the problem and work both into a coherent whole. It is particularly exciting coming into a brand new peace and conflict studies programme. You will have a chance to help set a research agenda that seeks to make sense of where we are in the world and how to make it into a more peaceful place.”
