Addicted to Violence: A Year-Long Series

A number of Mann Center programs during the 2013-2014 academic year will focus on the theme, "Addicted to Violence." The center will partner with both on- and off-campus partners to explore various aspects of ethics and violence, including health, public policy, business, the arts, and theology.

Currently planned programs include a series of Courageous Conversations on violence against women, and a Better World Theatre performance focusing on workplace bullying. Other lectures and panel discussions are being planned; an updated schedule of events is available online.

One of the most significant programs of the year will be the presentation of the Mann Medal to an internationally recognized leader whose work addresses the culture of violence. Nominations for the Mann Medal will be accepted on an ongoing basis until a recipient is selected; more information and a nomination form may be found online.
