Professional Development Seminars and Workshops

I develop and coordinate site based professional development seminars on global issues, peacebuilding, human rights, and conflict resolution, looking at global as well as domestic and employment/professional related contexts. A major focus of my programs recently has been career development. Below is a list of some of the programs with agendas that I have developed recently.
