The J. Bonner Ritchie Dialogue on Peace and Justice is an annual conference that brings local, national, and international speakers to
campus to speak about cutting-edge thinking, policy, and action regarding important
global problems. Each year’s conference focuses on a specific theme, including past
themes of Women, War, and Peacebuilding; Peace and Democracy; Sustainable Development;
and Religious Pluralism and Democracy.
The J. Bonner Ritchie Dialogue on Peace and Justice, held annually since 2006, is a discussion about cutting-edge thinking, policy, and action regarding important global problems. Each year a new issue is engaged. We focus not only on the problem but also on the most promising advances to diminish or eliminate specific issues around the world.
