More than 6,500 listeners in 102 countries and 1,239 cities across the globe enjoyed Season I.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPeacebuilder\u201d is a production of Eastern Mennonite University&#8217;s Center for Justice and Peacebuilding, as it celebrates its 25th anniversary. The original celebration, planned for summer 2020, was rescheduled to June 4-6, 2021, because of the pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.emu.edu\/cjp\/anniversary\">anniversary celebration website<\/a> in coming days for links to recorded sessions from the event. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The podcast is among just a handful covering the general peacebuilding field. It is available on<a href=\"http:\/\/emu.edu\/peacebuilder-podcast\"> EMU&#8217;s Peacebuilder website<\/a>, Apple Podcasts on iTunes, Spotify, Google Podcast, Stitcher, iHeart Radio, TuneIn and other podcast directories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kamau, a native of Kenya, developed the idea for a podcast featuring the world of peacebuilding after becoming an avid listener and sampler of audio storytelling. She proposed the series in the summer of 2019 as a way to celebrate CJP\u2019s 25th anniversary. Along with her regular responsibilities as then-assistant to the center\u2019s executive director, Kamau was also chairing the anniversary celebration planning committee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt felt like a really natural tie-in to have this medium that can hold story. As human beings, we&#8217;re a species that is made of and responds to story in a very specific way. And podcasts lend excellently well to that,\u201d she said. Add that the presence of many founders and co-founders, were still at CJP or in the peacebuilding world, \u201cit felt important to capture their thoughts.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The podcast project is an interesting intersection of her academic degrees &#8212; she graduated from EMU with a degree in computer science and business, and a master\u2019s degree in conflict transformation &#8212; and also her professional experience. Currently the digital media strategist and designer for CJP, Kamau has also worked at EMU in development and institutional research at EMU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sharing about peacebuilding in the podcast not only captures oral history but also passes along different ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPersonally, I think peacebuilding or conflict transformation is a way of life,\u201d Kamau says. \u201cYes, it is a field of study, but I also think that it is a way of life. We use conflict transformation in high level conflict resolution, but also on an interpersonal sort of level; how we relate to one another as friends, as siblings, as spouses, as lovers, we actually have richer relationships. So I see it as a way of self-actualization, if we can engage with these ideas and concepts in such an accessible format\u2026[Hearing these ideas] helps people live into deeper ways of who they actually are, the divine within ourselves, within all of us.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Listen for more on&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Kamau\u2019s partnership with composer Luke Mullet and sound mixer Steven Angello&nbsp;<\/li><li>How she works with podcast guests to prepare for their interview<\/li><li>Feedback from listeners&nbsp;<\/li><li>The challenge and opportunity of creating engaging digital spaces.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On this week&#8217;s episode of \u201cPeacebuilder\u201d podcast, host Patience Kamau MA &#8217;17 is interviewed by Lindsay Martin, associate director of development for the Center for Justice and Peacebuilding.&nbsp;
