Heard on Campus
“Building peace does not always mean the most elaborate or public engagement. It does not always mean attending a rally or serving an international program or movement. Sometimes peace building occurs in the granular and everyday habits of existence. Sometimes planting a beautiful garden for neighbors to see is peace building, sometimes raising a family sensitive to the call for equality and human rights is peace building. Peace building does not need to be granted, and indeed, most of its important elements are in the everyday simplicities of kindness and the ethics of care.”
- J. Ashley Foster, speaking on Writing for Peace: Virginia Woolf, Digital Pedagogy, and Intersectionality
