Duckworth’s presentation was entitled, “”Extreme Curriculum: Experiential Learning in Morocco.” The talk was based on a global course offered last summer for SHSS during which Duckworth led a trip to Morocco with students who were enrolled in Conflict Analysis and Resolution (DCAR), Cross-Disciplinary Studies (MACS), and the National Security Affairs (NSA) programs. The course is being offered again this summer. Duckworth was also a discussant on a panel on global development.
Duckworth is the faculty facilitator for the Peace and Conflict Education Working Group at SHSS. The group seeks to equip and empower schools worldwide to be examples and builders of peace, and to promote activities and curriculum that can help extend peace into the local communities.
