SUMMARY:Reflections on tragedy and healing: The role of Indigenous wisdom in Ethiopia
DESCRIPTION:Dr Yirga Gelaw Woldeyes – is a Senior Lecturer\, multidisciplinary researcher and writer based at Curtin University’s Centre for Human Rights Education\, Australia. Drawing from the history\, philosophy and experiences of marginalised people and diverse communities\, Yirga contributes critical insights for re imagining the future and addressing epistemic and racial injustices. He researches African experience and Ethiopian traditions and writes creatively on belonging and diasporic lives. He has won university and industry awards for his teaching\, research\, and creative writing. His publications include the sole authored book Native Colonialism: Education and the Economy of Violence Against Traditions in Ethiopia. (New Jersey: The Red Sea Press\, 2017) and the forthcoming book (with Offord\, Fleay\, Hartley and Chan) Activating Cultural and Social Change: The Pedagogues of Human Rights (London: Routledge\, 2022). \nSummary of the Public Lecture \nEthiopia is experiencing complex challenges that have global and local dimensions. Climate change\, civil war\, and economic crisis contribute to significant losses of lives and livelihoods. Western social\, economic\, and political theories are incapable of healing Ethiopian tragedies. Based on critical research\, I reflect on how global and local factors intersect and reproduce the crisis. I also draw from Ethiopian indigenous wisdom that can contribute to addressing the country’s major challenges. \n

SUMMARY:The Global 1960s: A View from Latin America
DESCRIPTION:Eric Zolov\, PhD Stony Brook University – Eric Zolov is Professor of History and Director of Undergraduate Studies at Stony Brook University. He received his BA from Colby College (1987)\, and MA in International Relations/Latin American Studies (1990) and PhD in History (1995) from the University of Chicago. The author of The Last Good Neighbor: Mexico in the Global Sixties (2020) and Refried Elvis: The Rise of the Mexican Counter culture (1999)\, he has published widely on popular culture\, twentieth-century Mexico\, and U.S.-Latin American relations. His more recent book\, co-authored with Terri Gordon-Zolov\, is The Walls of Santiago: Social Revolution and Political Aesthetics in Contemporary Chile (Berghahn). \nSummary of the Public Lecture \nIn recent years\, the field known as the Global 1960s has expanded dramatically both in terms of theoretical conceptualization and realms of knowledge. Using the lens of the Global 1960s\, scholars are working across disciplinary perspectives to interpret local change within a transnational framework\, one constituted by multiple crosscurrents of geopolitical\, ideological\,cultural\, and economic forces. Such forces produced a simultaneity of ‘like’ responses across disparate geographical contexts\, suggesting interlocking causes.Yet at the same time\, the distinctiveness of regional and national trajectories underscores the necessity of sustained intellectual dialogue across area studies and of the continued relevance of comparative history. This presentation provides an overview of the state of the field with a focus on the intellectual contributions from Latin America. Moreover\, it seeks to initiate a wider conversation about the location of Ethiopian youth politics during the “long 1960s” both in comparison to Latin America and within the conceptual framework of the Global 1960s more generally.

SUMMARY:POWER AND DEVELOPMENT IN AFRICA
DESCRIPTION:Many countries across the continent have made notable gains in the perpetual and Sisyphean struggle for well being.

This lecture will bring into focus the two concepts of power and development in order to meditate on the assets and liabilities of the continent.

SUMMARY:Peace and Security in Central Africa Republic and Democratic Republic of Congo: Is it relevant to have a UN Mission.
DESCRIPTION:KUDO’s Participants Interface | How to Join KUDO | KUDO Instruction(fr) \nVenue: Online via Google Meet\,  \nThe DRC and the CAR\, one might think these two countries are forgotten causes since the achievement of a lasting solution seems elusive. However\, through MONUSCO and MINUSCA\, the United Nations’ main body in charge of maintaining international peace and security continues to deploy a considerable amount of human resource\, material\, and financial terms to restore peace in these two countries. \nThe speaker will first assess the countries situation in terms of the latest developments\, an assessment of the action of the two peacekeeping operations taking various Peace Agreements into account\, and the expectations of the populations. Then we will identify the various constraints to the effectiveness of the action of peace mission’s internal and external constraints. \nThe issue of peacekeeping operations might be assessed in a broader perspective: preventing conflicts and not just acting in reaction to conflicts. \nUltimately\, Africa should take its destiny by developing and strengthening its capacities. To operationalize tools at its disposal\, for instance\, the peace and security architecture and the governance architecture in Africa. The Extraordinary Summit of DecembRegiter herer 5\, 2020\, could be an opportunity to make more effective the commitment of States to implement the roadmap on silencing the Guns. \nModerator: \n\nDr. Yonas Adaye Adeto\, Director\,  Institute for Peace and Security Studies\, Addis Ababa University\n\nSpeaker : \n\nH.E. Amb. Lazare MAKAYAT SAFOUESSE\, Ambassador of the Republic of Congo to Ethiopia\, Permanent Representative to the African Union and United Nations Economic Commission for Africa
