Catching up

Went to my first class for three weeks tonight. I had missed one session about the feminist aspects of conflict and peace, and one about the role religion plays. But don’t worry Mary has provided me with her notes so I will be sharing whatever I can glean from them soon.

Tonight’s class was interesting. ‘Holistic Visions for Peace and Conflict’: a discussion of theorists who contend that ‘inner peace’, ‘social peace’ and ‘harmony with nature’ are all connected. It was fun really.

My book review assignment is the post before this. I should also write a little about ‘Occupational Hazards’ by Rory Stewart. It is about his time as assistant governor in an Iraqi province.

But this is for another day. Back as soon as I can.
