Back from their Workshop in Applied Peacebuilding summer consultancies, MSGA students Anjali Tallapragada, Pia Madanes Quintanilla, and Stevie Robinson gathered at the Center for Global Affairs to discuss their experiences working with local organizations in Uganda, Jordan, and Sri Lanka. They reflected on their role as outsiders and the challenges they faced as international peacebuilders.

The student conversation was followed by a panel of professional peacebuilding practitioners that included Liz Hume, the Executive Director of Alliance for Peacebuilding, Isabella Cuomo, the Executive Director at Build A Movement, and Eyako Heh, a Senior Research Specialist at Princeton’s Bridging Divides Initiative. Liz, Isabella, and Eyako joined PREP Director Thomas Hill to continue the discussion on the tension between domestic and international peacebuilding and offer their unique perspectives on the challenges of peacebuilding work in the United States.
