MIDDLEBURY — Middlebury College’s ongoing work with the Kathryn Wasserman Davis Collaborative in Conflict Transformation, or KWDCCT, continues to create opportunities for members of the college community to explore different types of conflict and how they approach that friction.
There is no shortage of conflict in our modern world—ranging from a fight with a loved one to the threat of nuclear war. Can these conflicts be shifted from destructive to constructive? How?
Those questions are at the heart of a seven-year Middlebury initiative, which began in 2022.
The new award of up to $50,000 goes to human rights and education activist Joseph Kaifala, a war survivor from Sierra Leone who has worked to bring about peace and stability following years of conflict.
The second round of faculty grants from the Kathryn Wasserman Davis Collaborative in Conflict Transformation range from $10,000 to $50,000 and will support a broad array of research projects.
