When We Choose War: Understanding Political Violence and Possibilities for Peace

This year’s symposium focuses on political violence. Why do people sometimes choose to use violence in conflict? How can we return to peace? We are pleased to be able to host three leading experts on civil conflict and political violence. 

Ajay Verghese, Assistant Professor of Political Science at Middlebury College

Participate with Midd in the World Wide Teach-In on Climate and Justice! Middlebury will be joining more than 350 educational institutions around the world (in more than 50 countries and most US states) in the teach-in. On or around Wednesday, March 30, 2022, faculty will devote at least five minutes of classroom time to a conversation about climate solutions and justice. Continue the conversation from this fall’s Clifford Symposium – Radical Implications: Facing a Planetary Emergency – and engage our students, who are coming of age in an age of planetary crisis and transformation.

This talk will be given by Dr. Tihitina Andarge, whose research includes incomplete enforcement information on compliance and ambient pollution levels within the context of water quality regulations.
