CRITICAL CONVERSATIONS
CONFLICT & PEACE:

How Identity Impacts Our Experiences of Conflict and Peace

with Sandra Melone & Tamara Makoni

Conversations / Sat 21st Jun / 5-7 pm

Join the almost final gathering of the Series, hosted by Sandra and special guest Tamara Makoni.

Tamara is an inclusion & culture specialist based in Brussels. In April, she published a non-fiction book called Women, Intersectionality & Europe that focuses on social identity and inclusive solution-building in Europe today. It combines insights from research studies, case studies and women's testimonies from across Europe - not just the EU - to demonstrate that women's lives are diverse and complex, and that solutions aimed at gender equality must take this into account. As part of her research, she wrote about how the climate crisis affects all women - but the specifics of how they are impacted depend on factors such as socioeconomic status, rural/urban situation, age, migration status, etc.

Tamara will lead us through a discussion on how identity impacts one's experiences of conflict and peace.
