This fall, the English department, in conjunction with CELIA, is hosting an exciting conference on the tenth anniversary of the Dayton Literary Peace prize. This event features smart, lively talks by experts such as John Beckman, the Prize's co-founder Sharon Rab, and critically-acclaimed writers Bob Shacochis and Karima Bennoune. These innovative speakers will deliver TED-style talks that respond to the question, “How can great literature help us reduce conflict and find peace?” There will also be a peace-oriented photography exhibit, organized by Dr. Ben Montague of the Department of Art and presented at the Stein gallery.
Almost all of the prize winners have some relation to political issues. The conference is free and open to the public, but attendees must register in advance at wright.edu/peace. Please see the attached document for the tentative schedule with times and locations.
We hope you'll join us to celebrate Dayton's peace heritage!
