This year’s incredible program already includes confirmed speakers such as Sister Helen Prejean, Jonathan Schell, and 2008 MacArthur Fellow Will Allen. Also featured will be musical powerhouse Emma’s Revolution – called “the epitome of great political music” by Sing Out! – who will be performing in concert and facilitating a master-class on songwriting and activism. A dynamic array of significant workshops and rejuvenating experiences will fill out this year’s schedule, and the conference will include a focus on grassroots organizations in the region to help develop a bridge from dialogue to action. Plenary panels, breakout groups, brainstorming sessions, and an impressive list of keynote speakers will offer multiple points of engagement and opportunities for networking with scholars, activists, and educators in the pursuit of peace and justice.
