In this episode, Joseph Kaifala recounts his experiences growing up in civil wars in Liberia and Sierra Leone, and lays out a vision for peacebuilding that requires first dealing with the legacies of mass atrocities.  Kaifala is the inaugural recipient of the Projects for Peace Alumni Award. The newly created award, supported by the CT Collaborative, grants up to $50,000 in support of the ongoing peacebuilding efforts of a past Projects for Peace recipient who demonstrates innovation and persistence in working for peace and transforming conflict. A former Davis United World College Scholar, Kaifala earned his bachelor's degree from Skidmore College, a master's in international relations from Syracuse University, and his juris doctorate from Vermont Law School.  This episodes draws from an interview with PfP director Betsy Vegso and from a July 2023 campus talk that Kaifala gave as part of a convening on experiential learning and CT.  Learn more from our newsroom and video library: https://www.middlebury.edu/announcements/announcements/2023/05/projects-peace-presents-first-alumni-award https://vimeo.com/852855029
