Carter School for Peace and Conflict Resolution

Carter School Fall 2023 Peace Week

Fall 2023 Peace Week! Fall 2023 Peace Week will be held September 18th through September 22nd. The Carter School Fall 2023 Peace Week titled Building Peace in Partnership.

Presented by: RCID Lab, Center for Peacebuilding PracticeContact theory – one of the most influential theoretical ideas in social psychology – posits that positive, enduring contact between antagonistic groups that facilitates cooperation toward common goals can reduce intergroup prejudice. Despite widespread use of intergroup contact, there is a lack of systematic consideration of program approaches and theories of change in relation to a wide body of empirical evidence on contact theory. This session represents the result of the first stage of a collaborative academic-practitioner research project to improve DRG programming involving intergroup contact through the utilization and sharing of empirical evidence and tested methods. The presentations describe results of an expanded literature review on contact theory and theories of change and a rigorous, mixed-methods desk review of DRG programs in relation to the latest evidence on intergroup contact.Panelists: Karina Korostelina, Professor, Carter School Susan Allen, Director of Graduate Programs, Carter School Beltina Gjeloshi, Ph.D. student, Carter SchoolNatia Chankvetadze, Ph.D. student, Carter School
