While anxiety across the nation was high, the evening served as an opportunity for hopefulness of spirit and depth of substantive investigation. The night offered a unique closeness of hearts and minds that the distancing of bodies could not overcome.<\/p>\n<p>One of the challenges of modern education is the real or perceived division between domestic and international relations. When students grapple with domestic instability and communal confusion, they are seldom encouraged to look around the world for solutions. When an American student thinks of race, they often only think of America &#8211; or more specifically, the America they know. When they think of peace or peace-making, they think of somewhere other than America. In Peace Studies we work to bridge these gaps by teaching both theory and the lived realities of humans at home and around the world.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_12930\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12930\" style=\"width: 206px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/wilkinson\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2020\/11\/nesbitt_p.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-12930\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12930\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/wilkinson\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2020\/11\/nesbitt_p.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"206\" height=\"164\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-12930\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Prexy Nesbitt<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Dr. Nesbitt<\/strong> began his intervention by recalling his early days of advocacy from Chicago to South Africa, and the many faces and persuasions of anti-racism globally. He recalled early on in his career a knife was put to his neck by someone who would later become a confidant and organizing collaborator on the streets. From Sri Lanka to Guatemala, between Irish Nuns and armed revolutionaries, students and guests were taken on a journey to hope through the waters of humanity. Dr. Nesbitt ended with his strong hope in the current generation of students and activists as catalysts for positive social change.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_12931\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12931\" style=\"width: 160px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/wilkinson\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2020\/11\/claudia-fuentes.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-12931\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-12931\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/wilkinson\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2020\/11\/claudia-fuentes.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"160\" height=\"160\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-12931\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Claudia Fuentes-Julio<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Dr. Fuentes-Julio<\/strong> joined the discussion from Santiago, Chile where her work has focused on human rights and constitutional reform.

She also pointed to the intersectional nature of oppression throughout the region by highlighting that Latin America has the highest rate of<a href=\"https:\/\/www.atlanticcouncil.org\/blogs\/new-atlanticist\/women-protest-for-their-lives-fighting-femicide-in-latin-america\/\"> femicide<\/a> in the world.
