Category: Journal of Living Together
The Journal of Living Together is a peer-reviewed academic journal that publishes a collection of articles that reflect various aspects of peace and conflict studies. The contributions from across the disciplines and grounded by relevant philosophical traditions and theoretical and methodological approaches systematically broach topics dealing with tribal, ethnic, racial, cultural, religious and sectarian conflicts, as well as alternative dispute resolution and peacebuilding processes.
Through this journal it is our intention to inform, inspire, reveal and explore the intricate and complex nature of human interaction in the context of ethno-religious identity and the roles it plays in conflict, war and peace. By sharing theories, methods, practices, observations and valuable experiences we mean to open a broader, more inclusive dialogue between policymakers, academics, researchers, religious leaders, representatives of ethnic groups and indigenous peoples, as well as field practitioners around the world.
Our goal is to use this publication as a way to share ideas, varied perspectives, tools and strategies for the resolution and prevention of ethnic, racial, and religious conflicts within and across borders. We do not discriminate against any people, faith or creed. We do not promote positions, defend opinions or determine the ultimate viability of our authors’ findings or methods. Instead, we open the door to researchers, policymakers, those impacted by conflict, and those serving in the field to consider what they read in these pages and join in productive and respectful discourse. We welcome your insights and invite you to take an active role in sharing what you’ve learned with us & our readership. Together we can inspire, educate and encourage adaptive changes and lasting peace.
