Triumphs in Creating a Shared Society

Professor Brie Loskota (Center for Religion and Civic Culture at USC) will discuss local peacebuilding efforts in response to UN resolution 2250, seeking to create inclusive peacebuilding for youth.  Using Colombia as an unfolding case study, Loskota will share lessons learned from converting the youth bubble there, into an opportunity to transform long running and seemingly intractable conflict into an emerging peace.

Brie Loskota is the executive director of the Center for Religion and Civic Culture at the University of Southern California.  Her research explores how religions change and make change in the world.  She is a leading voice working to enhance religious pluralism and community resilience in the US and around the globe. Brie advises foundations and government agencies on effective strategies for effective partnership and engagement. She is co-founder and senior advisor to the American Muslim Civic Leadership Institute and implementing partner for the United State Institute of Peace’s Generation Change program where she trains emerging leaders committed to peace-building from the Middle East, Africa and South America.  She was awarded the inaugural Fearless Ally award in 2016 by the El-Hibri Foundation for her work with the American Muslim Community.  In 2017, the World Economic Forum named Brie a Young Global Leader.
