A Nonviolent Response
to Genocide
SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 26
7:30 PM, Hoffman Hall, PSU
"I hope to represent the many voices that have been
forever silenced by oppression, intolerance, and genocide
and to contribute to the local, national, and world efforts
to build a society that includes and values every person
regardless of cultural background." - Elavie Ndura
Elavie Ndura is a Hutu from Burundi, a Fulbright scholar,
a world-renowned speaker, and professor of Multicultural Education
at the University of Nevada at Reno. She, her family, her
community, and her nation have experienced colonialism, exploitation
and genocide. Ndura specializes in cultural identity development,
immigrants’ acculturation, and peaceful conflict resolution,
among others. Her call is for teaching tolerance and multiculturalism,
reconciliation and nonviolence.

University campus. Her remarks will be followed by commentary
from a small panel of distinguished respondents and questions
from the audience.
