March 1, 2013: Core faculty member invited to The Missing Peace Symposium. PPH core faculty member Tia Palermo attended the Missing Peace Symposium – “Sexual Violence in Conflict and Post-Conflict Settings” as part of the invited Young Scholars program. The Missing Peace was a global symposium held by The United States Institute of Peace (USIP) which brought together scholars, policymakers, and practitioners to “examine the issue of sexual violence, identify gaps in knowledge and report, and explore how to increase the effectiveness of current responses to such violence.” Young Scholars, or recently granted PhD’s, were given the opportunity to disseminate their research results through poster sessions and presentations, meet one-on-one with senior academics and policymakers, and sit at dedicated roundtables to discuss research and foster cross-disciplinary pollination. The symposium was held at the USIP headquarters in Washington, DC from February 14-16, 2013. For more information on symposium agenda and bios of attendees, please click here. Tia was also invited as a panelist at the Columbia University Epidemiology Scientific Symposium (CUESS) – “The Epidemiology of Sexualized Violence. Global sexualized violence: From epidemiology to action” on January 25, 2013. For agenda details on that symposium, please click here. Fantastic job, Dr. Palermo!
