Peacemaking and Our Perceptions of the Future: Ann Mische, Sociology and Peace Studies

Ann Mische is associate professor of sociology and peace studies at the University of Notre Dame. Her work focuses on processes of communication, deliberation and leadership in social movements and democratic politics. Using a combination of interpretive and network-analytic approaches, she discusses the challenges to leadership and coalition building posed by the participation of activists in multiple institutional sectors, including partisan, civic, religious, corporate, labor and social movement networks. While such intersections can generate opportunities for institutional innovation and mediation, they can also produce conflicts and tensions that constrain attempts at political transformation.

The College of Arts and Letters is the University of Notre Dame's oldest and largest college. We believe that its students, faculty, and programs meld the best aspects of a residential liberal arts college, a major research university, and a Catholic institution of international standing. The College's 20 departments span three divisions-the arts, the social sciences, and the humanities-all of which contribute to the vibrant life of the College.

This is just such important work. I've been reading almost all of Mische's research in my own thesis research process. Thank you so much for this video.
