Our Mission
Our mission is to improve intergroup relations in regions impacted by “identity-driven” conflicts, such as those ostensibly waged along ethnic, religious, or related lines. By fostering interdisciplinary dialogues among scholars and policy practitioners, we aim to uncover root causes of these conflicts and develop strategies to diffuse them. This approach not only advances global scholarly understanding but also generates practical solutions that can be applied in real-world contexts.
