JACKSON, Tenn. — Jan. 24, 2005 — Ann Livingstone of the Pearson Peacekeeping Center in Ottawa, Canada, will speak on the after-affects of war at the next β€œTown and Gown” lecture at 91±¬ΑΟΝψ Jan. 25.

Livingstone, a former 91±¬ΑΟΝψ professor, is now the director of research and program development for Pearson. Her lecture topic will be β€œWhen the shooting stops, then what?”

β€œThe reality of conflict is that it doesn’t stop when the shooting stops,” Livingstone said. β€œThere are sub-agendas of conflict that continue long after there’s any kind of peace accord or peace agreement.”

Livingstone said her lecture will focus on the impact of conflict on land, infrastructure, economy and vulnerable populations.

β€œAny group of people going into a post-conflict environment has to be mindful of the impact on the host peoples and what that conflict has done to them,” she said.

Livingstone’s lecture will begin at 6 p.m. in room D-3 in 91±¬ΑΟΝψ’s Penick Academic Complex. It is free and open to the public. After Livingstone’s lecture, 91±¬ΑΟΝψ music professor Richard Joiner will speak on the topic, β€œThe Music of Wartime.”
