- Education
War is by nature a time of violence and once you take a step back and examine what actually causes people to engage in warlike violence, you realize just how powerful the brain can be. It can flip a switch within an easy-going person and cause them to commit unspeakable acts that they may have never engaged in had it not been a time of conflict. What causes this flip in our brain? Can one be redeemed from this? In this episode of the Think Peace Podcast, host Colette Rausch sits down with author, researcher, professor and globally recognized peacebuilder Dr. Mari Fitzduff, to discuss the neuroscience of violence, how you reconcile violent intergroup relations, and her global experiences mediating violent conflict.
