Jon Stewart interviewed Leymah Gbowee of Liberia on The Daily Show on Nov. 14. The two-part video is available below.
Gbowee is one of three women jointly awarded the 2011 Nobel Peace Prize. She led a nationwide women’s movement that was instrumental in halting Liberia’s second civil war in 2003.
Gbowee graduated from Eastern Mennonite University’s Center for Justice and Peacebuilding in 2007 with a master of arts degree. She attended CJP’s Summer Peacebuilding Institute in 2004 and completed its Strategies for Trauma Awareness and Resilience program in 2005.
