Ashland Center for Nonviolence Conference

The Ashland Center for Nonviolence (ACN) is hosting a conference on March 28, 2015 to engage with challenges to the nonviolent perspective. Brethren have historically held nonviolence and pacifism as a core value, but this value has somewhat faded from our collective memory in recent years. We invite you to join in on this conference to be a part of reigniting and continuing the conversation.

Considering the Challenges to Nonviolence: Practical and Theoretical 

March 28, 2015

Ashland University in Ashland, Ohio.

Conference Registration 

 

ACN's first conference aims to respond seriously to challenges, questions, and objections to nonviolence. Our keynote speaker, Robert Brimlow of St. John Fisher College and author of What About Hitler?, will consider the challenge about nonviolence in the face of injustice. Although the concept of nonviolence is often considered only in relation to political and international matters, we expect to also host presentations that consider the challenges to nonviolence in the nation, in communities, in families, and in personal relationships. The conference is interdisciplinary and will consider challenges from a variety of areas, whether practical or theoretical, such as religion, business, education, the social sector (e.g. family), arts and entertainment, government, and media.
