Write anything that comes to your mind, this is not pure science, it is a human science subject to wrong and right

There is an impressive international architecture for peace, courtesy of the United Nations in particular; however, engagement with everyday contexts lags because that (perhaps inevitably cumbersome) architecture cannot readily capture the dynamics, agency, and hybridity of human societies and their institutions, which is where anthropology and ethnography (and of course many other disciplines since there can be no one-size-fits-all solution) have undoubted roles to play in very difficult situations.Presentation Learning for Peace

Thanks Olivier for your interesting reply to my question. Your answer is quite logical. Meanwhile I have also gone through your ppt on “learning for peace”. I would be further pleased to know as to how anthropology would play significant role in very difficult situation.

Traditional history is (more often than not) a dismal record of conflict but humans are of course capable of living peacefully. Quite organically, anthropology generates a great deal of data of immediate relevance to understandings of peace; and yet, the discipline has been slow to focus explicitly on the subject (at least considering the higher frequency of studies of conflict). There must surely be ample scope for anthropological investigations of peaceful societies (and their peace systems), for instance regarding how they successfully foster non-violence or deal with disputes without resorting to violence (or going to war).

Thanks for elaborating your previous reply. It is quite impressive. We will organize the IUAES World Congress titled “Anthropology in Public Sphere: Global Peace and Development“ in Odisha/India in January 2023. I will send you the required information in due course. Regards.
