The current “might is right” conflicts that are raging are making everyone less secure. Global threats, including that of nuclear war, persist. How can we Australians help promote new forms of collaborative leadership that recognise our global interdependence? How can we hasten the abandonment of dangerous developments such as AUKUS?
Please join us for interactive discussions with two activist experts from the US to develop strategies around these questions. This is a free event and numbers are strictly limited, so book now.

Dr Paula Gutlove is a speaker, teacher, and consultant on negotiation, leadership, and conflict management, and has worked with academic, business, government, and non-government organizations. She is the Deputy Director of the Institute for Resources and Security Studies (IRSS) in the US, and was the founding executive director of the Center for Psychology and Social Change at Harvard Medical School, and the founding board chair of the International Alliance for Peacebuilding.

Dr Gordon Thompson is executive director of IRSS and a senior research scientist at Clark University, with expertise relating to sustainability and global human security. He studied engineering at the University of NSW and was a fellow at the ANU Peace Research Centre in 1989. He has worked with many organisations including citizen groups, governments, foundations, universities, the World Bank and WHO.

Facilitated by Saksi Sethi policy and risk specialist, peacebuilder, and researcher.

Introduction by Melanie Morrison, Sydney Peace Foundation Executive Director.

This event is organised in partnership with the Medical Association for Prevention of War with the support of the NSW Teachers Federation.
