On May 19th the MHCR held the last event in our Spring Webinar Series “Knowing Us, Knowing Them: Applying the Neuroscience of Group Dynamics to Reconciliation and Peacebuilding” in collaboration with Beyond Conflict to explore how neuroscience impacts group dynamics and truth, reconciliation, and peace processes. The event featured neuroscience researchers and peacebuilding practitioners as they discussed the role of threat and empathy in understanding some of the breakdowns between individuals and communities and how discoveries in neuroscience are helping to inform current peace and reconciliation processes.
