Nonviolence Study Groups

In our quest to educate and train the next generation of nonviolent peacemakers and to build a community dedicated to nonviolence at Marquette University, the center holds weekly gatherings of faculty, undergraduate and graduate students, and community members to discuss theories of nonviolence and contemporary social justice issues on the campus, local, national, and global levels. Rev. G. Simon Harak, S.J., Director, Patrick Kennelly, Associate Director, and the Milwaukee Community Peacemaker mentor the groups.

Contact our Associate Director Patrick Kennelly with any questions about the Nonviolence Study Groups. (E-mail: patrick.kennelly@marquette.edu; Phone: (414) 288-8444)
