All this week, "In A Flash" will feature images from the ����ֱ�� State University group's trip to Rwanda.

Isobel, Day, a recent ����ֱ�� State graduate from Grove City, Pa., presented at Day Two of , a global peace conference in Kigali, Rwanda.

The conference is being sponsored by ����ֱ�� State’s School of Peace and Conflict Studies, ����ֱ�� State’s Gerald H. Read Center for International and Intercultural Education, the  and the , a non-profit organization dedicated to ending genocide and other global atrocities.

Conference attendees include delegates from 14 nations and nine U.S. states, including a large group of ����ֱ�� State educators and students, along with administrators from the Stow-Munroe Falls School District in Northeast Ohio and delegates from the Fairfield (Ohio) City School District and Ohio State University.

Day was one of several ����ֱ�� State students and educators that gave presentations at the conference. Day spoke about her research on how peace museums can be used as experiential methods of peace education on the experiences of marginalized communities. For this project, Day collaborated with Molly Merryman, Ph. D., Associate Professor in the School of Peace and Conflict Studies, and Caraline Feairheller, political science PhD candidate.

While attending conference, Day sought to “gain a broadened perspective on the importance of peace museums – as well as peace education as a whole – in cultures different from my own. The location in Kigali makes this conference even more of a learning experience, as the Kigali Genocide Memorial Museum is one of the world's most renowned peace museums.”
