Agents of Change: What can Youth Offer Peace and Security?
Dr Caitlin Mollica will be hosting a panel discussion, 'Agents of Change: What can youth offer peace and security?', on Wednesday 27 November 2019 at our South Bank campus.
Youth are central to global peace and security challenges. In countries and regions most affected by conflict, forced displacement, risk of radicalisation and the increasingly urgent consequences of climate change, young people make up a significant portion of the population The panel will ask how and what youth can contribute to peace and security, in the broader context of established attention to gender, securitisation of peace, and young people's already existing activism.
Caitlin will be joined by fellow panellists: Betty Barkha (Monash Gender, Peace and Security), Helen Berents (Queensland University of Technology), David Duriesmith (University of Queensland) and Jacqui True (Monash University).
