<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The third episode of the Peacebuilder podcast features Center for Justice and Peacebuilding professor Carl Stauffer<\/a><\/strong>, who speaks on transitional justice from the perspective of growing up in the Vietnam War, to doing peace and justice work in South Africa, to confronting polarization in the United States today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n

The podcast is just one of the ways the center is celebrating its 25-year anniversary. Hosted by CJP executive assistant and anniversary celebration committee chair Patience Kamau MA \u201817<\/a><\/strong>, the 10-episode series features faculty and staff members reflecting on the history of CJP and their own peacebuilding work. A new episode drops every other week on the Peacebuilder website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\tStauffer\u2019s parents were doing church and development work in Vietnam when the war broke out. They decided to stay, and Stauffer was born there in 1964.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\t\u201cThat has affected my life and work significantly,\u201d Stauffer said. He remembers one night that the fighting came within a half mile of their home in Saigon, \u201cclimbing under the bed with my mother and singing and praying, and the house shaking.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following in his parents\u2019 footsteps, he and his wife, Carolyn Stauffer, joined the Mennonite Central Committee in South Africa in the \u201chistoric\u201d moment of 1994 \u2013 only months before Nelson Mandela was elected. It was from South Africa that Stauffer completed his master\u2019s degree at CJP, known then as the Conflict Transformation Program. After 16 years in South Africa, Carl joined the CJP faculty [Carolyn is also a faculty member at EMU and has worked with CJP programs<\/a>].<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\tIn recounting his experiences through the episode, Stauffer weaves a story of the development of transitional justice, which he defines as an umbrella term that came about in the 1990s which describes structures and processes that are built to contain violence while a country moves from war to peace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\tIn 2007, Stauffer\u2019s commitment to transitional justice blossomed in a refugee camp in Sierra Leone, where he supported a \u201cjustice movement from the grassroots\u201d that implemented indigenous ways of addressing conflict on a macro level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\tToday, Stauffer says, we have a \u201csteep learning curve\u201d to apply these concepts and practices to our own society in the U.S.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\t\u201cIssues of healing, forgiveness, and reconciliation remain really divisive concepts right now in the polarization of our current political setting,\u201d Stauffer said. But throughout all of the difficult work he\u2019s done, and the violence he\u2019s seen in the world, Stauffer retains hope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy interpretation, which is Anabaptist, is that Christ\u2019s teaching and Christ\u2019s way of living was not something just for us to imagine, but for us to do,\u201d he explained.
