Peacebuilding and Praxis with John Paul Lederach

Imagination: Peacebuilding and Praxis with John Paul Lederach
“I think that that's really the biggest challenge that we have: To imagine that boundary and boundarylessness are not necessarily in contradiction.”

In this episode, we explore how the imagination is essential for building peace and transcending conflict. We also discuss more about how our morality is grounded in imagination.
