To provide opportunities for ongoing critical analysis of approaches to conflict and violence in diverse multicultural societies. To contribute scholarly and practical, positive alternatives to violence through developing differing approaches to conflict transformation for different contexts; models for workable relationships; cross-cultural comparisons of mediation, dispute resolution and restorative justice; inclusive, just analyses of plural identities; and ideas and practices on conflict, coexistence, interdependence, security and reconciliation. To offer culturally relevant expertise in the education and training of people in all fields of practice who are involved in resolving conflict and building peaceful relationships, as negotiators, facilitators, mediators and advisors on empowerment, security, peacebuilding and reconciliation.
