PREP Director Thomas Hill, Project Director Katerina Siira and MSGA Alumna Marta Bautista Forcada addressed an audience convened by the Colombian Studies Initiative at the NYU Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies and Universidad de Rosario in Bogota. They spoke about the participatory action research that MSGA students have undertaken in Colombia through a partnership with the Escuela Superior de Administración Publica. They also reflected on the challenges of building equitable academic partnerships that draw on endogenous peacebuilding capacities as well as the successes of the collaboration with the Colombian students, who have transformed themselves from a student research group into an autonomous research organization known as FUNRESURPAZ.
