Join us for our 21st annual Ikeda Forum for Intercultural Dialogue on Friday, September 26, from 7:00 - 8:45 pm ET. Named after Center founder Daisaku Ikeda in honor of his untiring commitment to dialogue, this signature event brings scholars from diverse disciplines and backgrounds together to investigate the peacebuilding potential of key ideas drawn from Buddhist humanism. This year’s forum is titled, “Engaging Difference in an Age of Division: The Power of Dialogue and Human Revolution in Restoring Our Shared Humanity,” and features a panel discussion with four renowned scholars and peacebuilders: - Catia Confortini, Professor of Peace and Justice Studies, Wellesley College (moderator)
- Nadya Hajj, Associate Professor of Peace and Justice Studies, Wellesley College
- Anna Ikeda, Representative to the UN for Disarmament of Soka Gakkai International (SGI) and Program Coordinator for Disarmament at the SGI Office for UN Affairs
- James McCarty, Clinical Assistant Professor of Religion and Conflict Transformation; Director, Tom Porter Religion and Conflict Transformation Program, Boston University
The forum will include a pre-event reception with food, icebreaker activities, small group discussions and reflections, and more.
