What motivated you (or your organization) to become involved in peace and conflict resolution?

received m.a. in conflict resolution from portland state university in december, 2005. this was an incredible program which tailors itself to every student's niche and realm of interest in conflict resolution. the teachers are incredibly personal and caring individuals. I recommend PSU's master's program in conflict resolution to anyone who wants to work in this field, or for people who wish to just take a class to improve themselves as people living in the world. join us!
