Roots for Change: Grounding Processes of Peacebuilding

The leadership profiles collected in this volume are generated from the work of undergraduate students in a course entitled Leadership for Social Justice, in the Department of Justice and Peace Studies at the University of St. Thomas, Minnesota, USA. Each profile follows a common format: story, theory, and action planning. Powerful stories help us understand leadership in dynamic organizations and communities Theories explore peacebuilding work in local examples connected to global contexts. And action planning exemplifies responsible peacebuilding, to encourage and inspire readers to enact their own leadership for social justice.
