Insider Reconciliation Summit


In March 2025, the Mary Hoch Center for Reconciliation (MHCR) at the Jimmy and Mary Rosalynn Carter School for Peace and Conflict Resolution at George Mason University held its inaugural Insider Reconciliation Summit. 

The event focused on the role of Insider Reconcilers—individuals deeply connected to conflicting parties who can prevent or mediate disputes. Discussions centred on what is needed to support, recognise, and enhance the effectiveness of these reconcilers.

I contributed to a session on how mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) can enrich reconciliation practices.
