Jean Sternlight at UNLV recently sent out an announcement that they have just posted webcasts of some of their recent “Peace in the Desert” lectures.

Among the speakers are:
John Paul Lederach, Professor of International Peacebuilding, The Joan B. Kroc Institute for International Peacebuilding, University of Notre Dame: “The Moral Imagination: The Art and Soul of Building Peace.”
Laura Nader, Professor of Social Cultural Anthropology, University of California, Berkeley: “Confict Resolution and the Anti-Law Movement: A Global Effort?”
Dennis Ross, former director of policy planning for President George H.W. Bush and special Middle East coordinator under President Bill Clinton: “Statecraft: And How to Restore America’s Standing in the World.”
Scott R. Peppet, Associate Professor, University of Colorado Law School: “The Ethics of Collaborative Law.”
I have watched/listened to only some of these, but it’s a wonderful resource, and I’m grateful to Jean that she and the folks at the Saltman Center have made these available. I’m also modestly grateful that she launched this record-the-presentations-and-post-them routine after I went out to UNLV to present some of my research, because it means that in future presentations at other schools, I will be able to recycle my carefully-crafted-to-look-spontaneous jokes.
