What is truth? And how does it lead to reconciliation? Can confronting the hard truths can bring about justice and healing in the aftermath of violent conflict? Though anecdotes of her childhood in the deep south, her travels from Northern Ireland to Ferguson, MO, and her work as a peace and justice educator, Laura Graham transforms the narrative of her own experiences to a call to action for us all.

Laura Graham is a scholar of international conflict and peace processes and a lecturer in Peace and Justice Studies at Tufts University. Her research focuses on the role of civil society in peace building and post-conflict reconciliation.
