Dr Pratap Rughani presented at the Annual Conference 2016, “Representing Peace and Conflict” of the Archbishop Desmond Tutu Centre for War and Peace Studies held Liverpool Hope University 13 – 15 July 2016.
“We aim to promote cooperation between academics and practitioners to enable innovative and original research projects, outputs and impact. At the same time, we believe in the importance of linking academic research to the lived realities of societies emerging from conflict. The Centre therefore aims to strengthen the links between theory and practice, inviting academics and practitioners alike to engage in its diverse activities”.

Around the world journalism reports on stories of crisis: moments or periods when communities, countries or regions face powerful forces or events that threaten lives and social structures.
Journalism thrives on crisis because these are the vital stories that grip our attention. How they are reported can literally be a matter of life and death.

“The ACT Human Rights Film Festival is born out of expertise in the Department of Communication Studies at Colorado State University in the area of media and visual culture. Dr. Scott Diffrient, Associate Professor of Film and Media Studies and recipient of the William E. Morgan Endowed Chair of Liberal Arts, is using funds from the endowed chair to establish the first-ever human rights film festival in Northern Colorado.
Human rights film festivals bring together, educate, and create a forum for dialogue among artists, filmmakers, citizens, scholars, advocates, and students on social justice issues of every kind. ACT will focus on the issues of LGBTQ rights, human trafficking, the fight for democracy, disability rights, homeless and more – issues which touch our community at a local and global scale”.
